Kaizer Chiefs aim to clinch MTN8 qualification with a crucial win against Polokwane City at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg

Kaizer Chiefs fans, get ready—because it all comes down to the final game of the season.

After a gutsy away performance against Sekhukhune United, Amakhosi’s hopes of clinching a spot in next season’s MTN8 are still alive.

But they’ll need a win to seal the deal.


Lilepo’s Late Equaliser Keeps the Dream Alive

Saturday’s clash with Sekhukhune didn’t start the way Chiefs wanted.

They went behind early, but Glody Lilepo came through in the dying moments of the first half, netting a crucial equaliser.

That 1-1 draw may not seem like much on paper, but it could be the difference between missing out and making it into the top eight.


Polokwane Showdown Will Decide Chiefs’ Fate

Now it’s all about the final matchday.

Chiefs host Polokwane City, who already have their MTN8 spot secured. Currently, Polokwane are two points ahead of Chiefs, but since they’ve already locked in their place, fans are hoping they’ll ease off the pressure a bit.

The match kicks off at 15:00 on Saturday, 24 May—and it’s a must-win for the Glamour Boys.


Could Three Big Names Be On Their Way Out?

Behind the scenes, there’s talk of some major changes coming.

Reports suggest Chiefs might be preparing to part ways with three experienced senior players.

While no official names have been confirmed yet, it’s clear that head coach Nasreddine Nabi is serious about shaking things up at Naturena.


McCarthy Impresses in Debut—A New Solution at the Back?

There might be a bright spot emerging from within the squad. 21-year-old defender Aden McCarthy, who can play across the entire backline, made his debut against Sekhukhune and held his own.

Nabi even praised the youngster’s composure and versatility—qualities the team’s been missing in defence.


Chiefs Looking to Portugal and the PSL for Fresh Talent

Chiefs have also started scouting for new blood.

Mhleli Mabuza, a 24-year-old right-back recently playing in Portugal’s fourth division, has been invited to train with the senior team.

He’s currently a free agent, making a deal easy to secure if he impresses.

They’re also keeping tabs on Richards Bay defender Lwandile Mabuya, but bringing him in could prove a tougher challenge.


All Eyes on Saturday—Will Chiefs Deliver?

It’s crunch time. Kaizer Chiefs have one shot to save their season and earn a place in the MTN8.

The pieces are there: promising young talent, strategic signings in the works, and one more game to make it all count.

The question is—will they rise to the occasion?
