The Glamour Boys will face the defending champions at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Saturday, March 1, 2025.

The Soweto giants were expected to face Royal AM this weekend, but the match has been postponed due to the issues Thwihli Thwahla's owner, Shauwn Mkhize, is facing with SARS.

Nabi laments after Kaizer Chiefs’ defeat, explains why Amakhosi were thrashed by SuperSport

Nabi is expected to be without two of his players when Kaizer Chiefs travel to Pretoria to face Mamelodi Sundowns.

Gaston Sirino received his marching orders for two bookable offences during Amakhosi's 4-1 loss against SuperSport United.

The red card means the former Mamelodi Sundowns star will miss the chance to face his former side in front of their fans, after joining Chiefs last summer on a free transfer.

Another blow for Nabi is doubts over Happy Mashiane's availability as he was stretched off in the second half due to a serious injury.

Sirino's red card sparked different discussions from fans on social media, as he was expected to start against his former team.
