Chiefs enter the CAF Confederation Cup at the second preliminary round, beginning with a tough tie against Congolese side Simba.
- Simba vs Kaizer Chiefs – Saturday, 18 October, 15:00
- Kaizer Chiefs vs Simba – Saturday, 25 October, 15:00
With recent struggles on the continental stage, this clash is critical. A win would not only carry Chiefs into the group stages but also restore belief in their ability to compete beyond South Africa’s borders.
Packed Domestic Schedule
While eyeing continental progress, Chiefs must also handle a demanding domestic run. The Betway Premiership offers little respite, with fixtures coming thick and fast:
- Kaizer Chiefs vs Siwelele – Wednesday, 22 October, 19:30
- Durban City vs Kaizer Chiefs – Friday, 31 October, 19:30
- Kaizer Chiefs vs Orbit College – Tuesday, 4 November, 19:30
- Magesi vs Kaizer Chiefs – Saturday, 22 November, 17:30
- Kaizer Chiefs vs Golden Arrows – Sunday, 30 November, 17:30
- Chippa United vs Kaizer Chiefs – Wednesday, 3 December, 19:30
The congested calendar will test squad rotation and tactical adjustments, especially with little recovery time between trips across the country.
Defining Period for the Season
The upcoming six weeks could shape Amakhosi’s campaign. Success in Africa would ignite confidence and possibly spark a deep run in the Confederation Cup. Domestically, strong results will be vital if Chiefs are to keep pace with perennial rivals Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates.
