Kaizer Chiefs are set to embark on their quest for a 14th Nedbank Cup title this Sunday evening as they face off against ABC Motsepe League side Free Agents at FNB Stadium. Amakhosi drew the Tshwane-based team, which competes in South Africa's second division, under the SAFA banner, two weeks ago at the bank’s head offices in Sandton.
Historically, Amakhosi have dominated this tournament, clinching the title a record 13 times since its inception in the early 1970s. Coach Nasreddine Nabi, who will be absent from the bench due to suspension, aims to secure the Nedbank Cup as his first trophy in Mzansi.
Having suffered a disappointing exit in the round of 32 at the hands of Milford FC in a penalty shootout last season, the Glamour Boys, who will be led by assistant coach Khalil Ben Youssef, are determined to go significantly deeper in the competition this time around, starting with Sunday’s game against Free Agents.
Tickets for the match are available at TicketPro online at www.ticketpros.co.za and various outlets including Spar and Boxer Supermarkets and Sasol filling stations for R40 each. Kick-off is scheduled for 18:00 at FNB Stadium.
