Jessica Stands Firm On CAF CC Hopes Despite Chiefs Poor Start

Kaizer Chiefs Marketing and Commercial Director Jessica Motaung says the club remains determined to progress in the CAF Confederation Cup despite a disappointing start.  

Amakhosi endured a slow start to their continental campaign, losing their opening match to Al Masry before playing out a draw against Zamalek.

They currently occupy third place in Group D with just one point from six available, and have four matches left to fight for qualification.

Motaung is confident they can still gather enough points from the remaining matches to advance to the knockout stages.

“On the continental stage, the Nedbank Cup victory secured our return to CAF Interclub competitions, four years after our last campaign, when we reached the Champions League final against Al Ahly in 2021,” said Motaung according to Kaizer Chiefs website.

“We overcame opponents from Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo in the preliminary stages to proudly take our place in the group stages, where we have already travelled to Egypt to face Al Masry and hosted their compatriots, Zamalek. 

“We remain determined to progress further when the campaign resumes after AFCON, with home and away fixtures against Zesco United from Zambia, before a return to Egypt to face Zamalek and a home game against Al Masry.”
