Their next assignment is now against The Citizens next Tuesday, 21 July 2009.
Manchester City who on Monday announced the signing of Carlos Tevez will bring their strongest squad with silky Robinho likely to feature in the final to be played at Loftus Stadium.
Itumeleng Khune together with his Bafana Bafana teammate Siphiwe Tshabalala joined the rest of the squad having been given two weeks break after their participation in the Confederations Cup last month.
“It is good to be back with the guys. I had an opportunity to watch the game against Iran last Saturday and I thought the guys were very impressive.
It does look that even new players have already adapted to the way of doing things at Chiefs. This augers well with our preparations for the upcoming game against Manchester City and of course what promises to be a grueling season for all of us,” said Khune who confirmed penning a new three-year contract with the Amakhosi.
Meanwhile, Supporters Relations Manager, Cecil Motaung urged Chiefs faithful to rally behind the team and fill the stadium in Durban next Tuesday.
“It is very important for us to continue to show that we are good hosts. We filled the stadium when we hosted Manchester United in Cape Town last year and we should do the same in Durban. Vodacom Challenge is celebrating its 10th anniversary and we should celebrate it in style.”
Fans can come see the likes of Knowledge Musona, Thomas Sweswe, Nkosinathi Nhleko and many others taking on some of the best players in world football,” said Cecil popularly known to Chiefs faithful as “Chief”.
Tickets are currently on sale at Computicket and Shoprite outlets countrywide and for those who are looking for suite tickets via hospitality can log on to www.vodacomchallenge.com for more information.
