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.

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.

Assistant coach Khalil Ben Youssef will take over the team’s coaching duties for this match.

Last Season’s Disappointment and a Strong Comeback

This year, the team is determined to avoid a similar fate and is looking to go much further in the tournament, starting with the game against Free Agents.
