Kaizer Chiefs Braced for Double Egyptian Test After International Break

Published on 17 Nov 2025 at 20:12 by Willis Sob

Kaizer Chiefs will resume their campaign after the FIFA international break with two demanding TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup fixtures against Egyptian heavyweights Al Masry and Zamalek SC.

The first challenge comes on Sunday, 23 November, when Amakhosi travel to the Suez Stadium for a 18:00 kick-off against Al Masry. The venue, situated roughly 150 km from Cairo, will provide a stern test for the Glamour Boys on foreign soil.

Six days later, Chiefs return home to host Zamalek SC in what promises to be a blockbuster clash between two of Africa’s most storied clubs. The match is scheduled for Saturday, 29 November at 15:00 at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.

Due to the extensive travel between South Africa and Egypt, the club’s midweek Betway Premiership fixture against Magesi, originally set for Wednesday, 26 November, has been postponed. The Premier Soccer League will announce a new date in due course.

Chiefs have been drawn in Group D of this year’s Confederation Cup, alongside Al Masry, Zamalek, and Zambia’s Zesco United. With only the top two teams advancing to the knockout stages, Amakhosi will be eager to collect maximum points from their opening encounters.

TICKETS AND HOW TO WATCH

Tickets for the Polokwane showdown against Zamalek are priced at R80 and can be purchased online at www.computicket.co.za or in-store at Shoprite, Usave, and Checkers outlets.

Supporters are urged to secure their tickets early to ensure a packed New Peter Mokaba Stadium and avoid the Black Friday shopping rush.
