Kaizer Chiefs are gearing up for their 14th Nedbank Cup title attempt as they take on Free Agents on Sunday, 26 January, at the iconic FNB Stadium.

This match marks the beginning of their quest to add another prestigious trophy to their collection.

The Matchup: Chiefs vs Free Agents

Amakhosi were drawn against Free Agents, a team from the ABC Motsepe League, South Africa’s second division.

The draw took place two weeks ago at the Nedbank’s head office in Sandton, and now Chiefs are eager to show their dominance in the competition.

Kaizer Chiefs have a rich legacy in the Nedbank Cup, having claimed the title 13 times since the tournament’s inception in the early 1970s.

With such a proud history, expectations are high as they look to continue their dominance.

Coach Nabi’s Ambition for His First Trophy in South Africa

Despite Coach Nasreddine Nabi being absent from the sidelines due to a suspension, he remains focused on winning the Nedbank Cup as his first major trophy in South Africa.
