Kaizer Chiefs' new signing, Fiacre Ntwari, produced a Man of the Match performance in Rwanda's clash with the Super Eagles of Nigeria in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Kigali.

The Rwandan goalkeeper joined the Glamour Boys this summer from Premier Soccer League rivals TS Galaxy for an undisclosed fee. He's expected to be a major part of Amakhosi's squad this season under Nasreddine Nabi.

The former TS Galaxy star could make his first official start for Kaizer Chiefs this weekend in the Betway Premiership, and his performance against the runner-up at the AFCON 2023 shows he's merited for the starting berth.
