SABC to televise the Kaizer Chiefs home game

Looking at other reports on the Soweto giants, Briefly News reported that the South African Broadcasting Corporation has announced they have secured the rights to televise the CAF Champions League match between Kaizer Chiefs and Wydad Casablanca.

SABC announced the news on their social media platforms but the public broadcaster will only show the second leg match next weekend, not the one that will be played in Morocco on Saturday night.

The encounter will be aired on SABC 1's Open View channel 124 as well as SABC radio stations and the news has come as a relief for football fans.
