Chiefs’ Next-Gen Tournament With EPL Sides Postponed

Kaizer Chiefs’ reserve side were scheduled to fly out of the country to India for the NEXT-Gen, but the tournament has since been postponed amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan. 

After winning the DStv Diski Challenge title for the first time in 10 years, Amakhosi were set to travel to India for the NEXT-Gen Under-19 tournament as the champions of the DDC.

This was due to be the sixth edition of the under-19s tournament with sides from South Africa, the Premier League and Indian Super League all participating.

Amakhosi were expected to leave South Africa last week Thursday already but were informed about the postponement of the tournament due to the political rising tensions between India and Pakistan, with growing security and safety fears.

Last year, Stellenbosch FC won the tournament after beating English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 in the final.
