Amakhosi Diski Champions to face Red Devils in November

Posted in News, Youth Academy on Nov 15, 2025.

In part-reward for winning their maiden DStv Diski Challenge (DDC) title with a remarkable record 70 point haul last season, Kaizer Chiefs reserves will embark on the 11-day DDC International Tour from 25 November to 7 December 2025.

The tour, underwritten by the Professional Soccer League (PSL) and Multichoice, will see Amakhosi play matches against the U21 teams from esteemed English footballing institutions, Manchester United (28 November), Leeds United (2 December) and Queens Park Rangers (6 December).

In addition, the young Glamour Boys squad will visit the Manchester United and Liverpool academies during the trip - where they will undoubtedly gain valuable insights from exchanging knowledge and experiences with their British counterparts – as well as attend the English Premier League match on 3 December when Leeds United host Chelsea at Elland Road, where former Amakhosi star, Lucas Radebe achieved legendary status and is still revered among the fanbase to this day.

Earlier this year the tour was postponed, but after winning the DDC and setting a new standard of quality and discipline for Kaizer Chiefs, the boys have earned their place on the global stage. They will now take on some of the biggest CPL clubs in the Next Gen Cup.

Club Sporting Director, Kaiser Motaung Jr, rightly believes that the youngsters fully deserve this opportunity.

“It’s good for the brand, and it’s even better for the youngsters,” he tells www.kaizerchiefs.com. “These are the players who will carry our badge into the future. Global exposure, travel experience, and facing top international opposition all form part of our bigger journey into the continent.

“Our captain says that the squad is buzzing with excitement,” he adds. “For many, this is their first time travelling overseas — and getting to play the likes of Manchester United, QPR and Leeds United is a phenomenal milestone in their young careers.

“The objectives are clear: represent Africa with pride and continue raising the standard of youth football. One Team. One Africa. One Youth,” Motaung states. “We are incredibly proud of our rising stars and can’t wait to see them shine.”
