Confirmed! Kaizer Chiefs set to play five time KNVB Cup finalists as pre-season schedule takes shape

Kaizer Chiefs resumed their pre-season on Friday at Naturena in preparations for the 2025/26 Premier Soccer League campaign.

Coach Nasreddine Nabi and Amakhosi management have been busy in the Transfer Window, but none of the reported signings have shown up.

The Glamour Boys have a tough campaign that includes a Caf Confederation Cup competition after winning the Nedbank Cup.

In a fortnight, the Soweto giants will leave for the Netherlands where they will camp from July 3 to 19 as they intensify their training.

Chiefs are set to play high-profile friendly games as Nabi tries new signings, as well as the tactics he might be employing in the new season.

A couple of days ago, A top Eredivisie side FC Utrecht confirmed Amakhosi as one of their club friendlies opponents, and that the match will be played behind closed doors on July 11.

Five-time KNVB Cup winners NEC Nijmegen have confirmed they will play the Glamour Boys on July 12.

It is interesting to see who else Amakhosi will face before returning to Mzansi for the new season.

Chances are high that Nabi's men will play the first preliminary round of the Caf Confederation Cup before a domestic assignment.
