Chippa United to laugh all the way to the bank thanks to Orlando Pirates! Chilli Boys to rack up over R1 million when they face Soweto giants

Chippa United have a Premier Soccer League assignment against Orlando Pirates in March 2025.

It is a match the Chilli Boys coach Siviwe Mpengesi is already planning for and wants it played in East London instead of their Gqeberha base.

A Chippa director Lukhanyo Mzinzi explains the financial windfall that comes from staging the match in East London as the club targets to earn R1.2 million from the match.

“The chair [Siviwe Mpengesi] has submitted the Pirates game as one of the games for 2025 to be played in East London,” Mzinzi told Dispatch.

The Chilli Boys have decided to take their matches to East London at a time when they are sixth on the PSL table.

They have played seven league games winning three, losing as many games and drawing just once.

By the time the Pirates match takes place, they will be hoping to be in the form they are currently enjoying.

For now, the Chilli Boys are preparing for their net PSL match as they look to climb up the table.

They host SuperSport United on November 26 with a chance to go third on the standings.
