CAF Confederations Cup news

The Glamour Boys bounced back to winning ways in their first game in 2026 to continue their chase for the Premier Soccer League title. The Soweto giants are now just two points behind leaders Mamelodi Sundowns and a point less than traditional rivals Orlando Pirates. The victory was vital for the club ahead of the forthcoming CAF assignment.

The Soweto giants' Glamour Boys have not been as busy as their rivals in the ongoing short January transfer window. The technical team, as well as the management, believe they have enough quality players to challenge for the Premier Soccer League title, Nedbank Cup, and the CAF Confederation Cup in the ongoing edition.

As Abafana Bes'thende's poor form continues, their head coach feels that they were robbed in their match against Amakhosi. The two PSL sides met in a rather high-stakes game, as each wanted a win to end their respective winless run in the league. Although the Soweto giants won, their victory has been questioned and the ex-Masandawana tactician said there is a need to introduce the refereering technology into the league.

The Buccaneers forward delivered a statement performance on his maiden appearance for the Cape Winelands club. His crucial contribution in the Maroons' shirt on his first game is likely to spark debate about whether the Soweto giants made a mistake in releasing him to spend the rest of the season away from the club.

After dropping four points from a possible six before the Premier Soccer League went on a break, Amakhosi resumed their campaign with a win. Although they were wasteful, especially in the first half, the win and a clean sheet are good enough to set a positive tone ahead of more crucial games coming up. Abafana Bes'thende returned home more worried as their winless run in the league extended to four games in a row.

This current PSL transfer window has seen Premier Soccer League title contenders Orlando Pirates, Mamelodi Sundowns and Sekhukhune United busy signing players. But Amakhosi have been quiet in the market as their rivals beefed up and they have, however, secured an unheralded player.

Amakhosi rivals, particularly Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns, have taken advantage of the short transfer window. But the Glamour Boys have not yet brought on board anyone, and there is a likelihood the technical bench will work with the players already available. Given that they are challenging on both domestic and continental fronts, Chiefs' coaches can only hope each and every player will play their part as required in order to achieve their season's ambitions.

The former Orlando Pirates coach has gone on to create history beyond Mzansi borders, with the 39-year-old tactician once again underlining his pedigree. Having already shown his capability during his spells at Mayfair and Chloorkop, the latest cup triumph with his current side came as no surprise to Pitso Mosimane, who had long foreseen Mokwena’s success and publicly backed him when he appointed him as his assistant at Sundowns.

Following the unexpected announcement by the Confederation of African Football a month ago that the Africa Cup of Nations will be staged every four years from 2028, the football fraternity was left with questions, with some publicly criticising the decision and alleging European influence. However, the Masandawana owner has moved to clear the air, firmly denying any involvement from the Western World.

The midfielder's contract is understood to be expiring when the current season concludes in June. With that in mind, he is among the players who should now be in talks with Amakhosi to extend their contracts or part ways when their deals eventually expire. But for the former Mamelodi Sundowns star to remain at Naturena, a demand has been raised.

Once tipped as one of the best goalkeepers in the country, the former Maritzburg United star has decided to quit the football scene. At 30, especially for a goalkeeper, that is seen as a relatively young age, but he has decided to call it quits. His retirement has come at a time when the debate on who should replace the current Bafana Bafana goalkeepers has been partly dominating headlines.

The Amakhosi starlet becomes another talent from the country to cross the border and join his international counterpart. Coincidentally, the club is owned by an Amakhosi legend, and the move by the youngster represents a connection of some sort between the club and the Soweto giants.

As Chiefs' Premier Soccer League rivals strengthen for the next phase of the campaign that is expected to be gruelling, Amakhosi are yet to sign any new player. In the pre-season transfer window, the Soweto giants signed a number of players to strengthen respective departments of their playing unit. However, weaknesses in their squad still remain, and the club has been urged to bring on board players that will help cover those gaps.

The TS Galaxy star has kept the South African football community on edge, as his future continues to spark widespread interest. While many fans of the Soweto giants insist the club erred in letting the player go, the 67-year-old former Chiefs coach has now stepped forward to shed light on the events that unfolded.

The right-sided player has attracted the interest of Premier Soccer League heavyweights after a sensational performance for TS Galaxy. Now, a twist in the player's future has emerged, as it has now been revealed that Amakhosi have contacted his camp for a possible deal. Given the profile of the player, the race to sign Dithejane is expected to be a battle between the top clubs in the country.

With the Premier Soccer League entering its busiest stretch, all eyes are on the big three, and supporters are buzzing with curiosity over what the remainder of the season holds. Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates have already unveiled their new signings, leaving Chiefs fans eager and somewhat frustrated to see what moves their team will make.

The coach's explanation of why South Africa failed to make it past the Round of 16 continues to attract responses. The experienced tactician claimed the level of the domestic league could have played a major role in their elimination. But the German coach has offered a different perspective, stating that Broos could be wrong and laying down what must be done to make Mzansi players become even better.
