Kaizer Chiefs Marketing and Commercial Director Jessica Motaung has expressed the club’s excitement over the imminent return of fans to DStv Premiership fixtures.
This follows the Premier Soccer League chairman Irvin Khoza’s announcement on Tuesday that supporters will be returning to the stands from the 8th and 9th of April.
Chiefs will welcome home supporters back when they play SuperSport United at the FNB Stadium on the 16th of April, and Motaung says they cannot wait, as it has been a frustrating two years for the club playing without the Amakhosi support.
“We are very excited to have supporters return to the stadium as announced by the PSL Chairman on Tuesday afternoon,” Motaung told the Chiefs’ website.
“It has been a long and challenging two years without supporters in the stadium. It was lonely and quiet in the stands around the country. It’s good that we will now be reunited with our twelfth player soon.
“Chiefs and supporters had not been separated since the birth of the Club in 1970, but all this changed in 2020 when we started playing behind closed doors and this led to us losing the league title in the last few minutes of the 2019-20 season.
“We are glad that all that is in the past and we are looking forward to the singing and dancing that we love hearing and seeing at the different venues around the country.”
“We look forward to being together again with our supporters on 16 April when we host SuperSport United for our first game with supporters back in the stadium. “We do believe our players will be buoyed by this return of the player and we will see some exciting football again, concludes Motaung.”
