CAF Confederations Cup news

Abdeslam Ouaddou, Orlando Pirates, December 2025

No Mofokeng, no problem! Ouaddou adds exciting Pirates youngsters in squad to face All-Stars in Carling Cup clash

With key players unavailable as they are focused on the Africa Cup of Nations, Ouaddou is expected to give playtime to other stars. In the team that has landed in Durban ahead of the showdown against All-Stars, there are a few players, including a teenager, who could be deployed. After winning the Carling Knockout, the Bucs might win another trophy on Saturday, although it is not an official cup.

Shongwe impressed with Chiefs’ improving form, rating a much-improved, growing solidity in their defence

The Naturena-based outfit has, over the past few seasons, struggled to fully demonstrate its big club status in the Premier Soccer League, consistently falling short and finishing the campaign outside the top eight. However, despite their struggles last season, they managed to break their long-standing trophy drought by being crowned champions of the Nedbank Cup, a moment widely viewed as the start of new beginnings. That success appears to have carried into the 2025/26 season, with the club opening the campaign on a high note and delivering performances strong enough to position themselves among the recognised league title chasers.

Another Potential Blow For Stellies! Stellenbosch risk losing 48-goal attacker for FREE as Chiefs watch on

PSL's top three clubs, Mamelodi Sundowns, Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates, are naturally monitoring the talented player's situation, having raided the Winelands side for stars over the years. The highly rated forward will see his contract expire at the end of the season, and this means he is free to sign a pre-contract with a club of his choice from January 1.

Chiefs co-coach assesses Baartman & warns, 'the most important thing is the team & not individual players'

After a long-awaited debut, the youngster was given his first start for the Soweto giants. Just like his former teammate, his debut took too long to come by, given the off-pitch challenges he faced before he signed for Amakhosi. Now his performance on his debut has been assessed, but the coach asserted that what matters for Chiefs are the general performance of the team.

Perfect time for Chiefs to fire Kaze and Ben Youssef & appoint jobless Mosimane as new coach

Amakhosi's recent run has been underwhelming, and in six possible Premier Soccer League points, the Soweto giants have only managed to collect two. They lost an opportunity to close in on Orlando Pirates, the league leaders so far, and second-placed Mamelodi Sundowns. The Motaungs have now been asked to look for a new coach, a tactician with the right profile to handle the club and the players.

Chiefs feel robbed after Galaxy draw as Ben Youssef highlights ex-PSL Referee of the Season's mistake

Amakhosi were once again left frustrated in front of goal, recording their second straight goalless stalemate after also firing blanks against Chippa United in midweek. Despite dominating large spells, Chiefs could not find the breakthrough against the Rockets in their match on Sunday, December 7, yet the point was enough to lift them into fourth place on the Premier Soccer League table.

Zitha Kwinika, Kaizer Chiefs, October 2025

Chiefs centre-back draws positives from CAF Confed run and shifts focus to the domestic league

The 31-year-old has been one of the most trusted figures at the back in Chiefs’ continental campaign, making five appearances and completing the full 90 minutes in both group-stage clashes against Al Masry and Zamalek. The consistent game time has boosted his confidence, and he’s delighted to be trusted with such responsibility—embracing the pressure, gaining valuable lessons and experience. However, he’s fully aware that turning these performances into crucial points remains a priority.

Ex-Chiefs player Disco comments on Chiefs' Caf Confed group stage performance

The Glamour Boys are yet to find convincing results in their CAF Confederations Cup group campaign. They opened their account with a 2–1 defeat to Al Masry in Egypt, before managing only a single point in their home fixture against Zamalek on Saturday — a match in which they had hoped to capitalise on home advantage. Interestingly, in both encounters, Chiefs’ only moments of real threat came from an unexpected source, with right-back Dillan Solomons popping up as the unlikely goal contributor.

It was another day for a former Pirates star to play a crucial role in helping Gallants collect a point, and his display earned him Man of the Match recognition. Meanwhile, the draw means Bahlabane Ba Ntwa have extended their winless run to five games in regulation time. PSL is expected to run for weeks before it goes on a break to allow selected players to join their national teams for the upcoming African Cup of Nations (AFCON) finals.

Referee slammed over 'clear favours' for Chiefs against Zamalek after Egyptian giants file complaints to CAF

Despite the Glamour Boys fighting back to avoid another loss, the referee has been blamed for the outcome of the game between them and Egyptian heavyweights. The match official has been specifically blamed for two decisions that have now been viewed to have favoured the Soweto giants. The Glamour Boys were staring at what looked like another defeat, but a late goal handed them a sigh of relief.

'Apologise to Ouaddou for calling him a plumber! Pirates are champions; Mofokeng is off to Morocco'

By picking up yet another win, the Sea Robbers are building up perfect momentum for the Carling Knockout Cup final against Marumo Gallants. Against Durban City, players showed individual brilliance and team brilliance, a testament that Abdeslam Ouadou's rotation policy could be working. Although they started the season struggling, the Sea Robbers have made their way to the top of the Premier Soccer League standings and are now sending a clear signal that they are serious title contenders.

Four Chiefs players ruled out, but Bafana forward & ex-Sundowns star cleared to face Zamalek

Amakhosi are trying to navigate the demanding terrain of continental football while also grappling with a challenging fitness situation in their squad. It has become a real test of their squad depth and the character of players as they push through some tough assignments in that state. Their domestic rivals Mamelodi Sundowns have grown accustomed to enduring such demands every season, setting the standard Amakhosi now hope to match.

Chiefs' predicted XI to face Zamalek: Will returning Mayo and Sirino start?

Amakhosi play their second Group D match on Saturday, hosting Zamalek at the Peter Mokaba Stadium, keen to bury the disappointment of last weekend’s 2-1 loss to Al Masry. Securing maximum points at home remains the Soweto giants' top priority as they look to keep their hopes of reaching the knockout stages alive. The coaches could tweak the starting lineup to try and correct the shortcomings they showed last weekend.
