Benni McCarthy’s AmaZulu team have learned who they will face in their first eight games of the 2021/22 DStv Premiership campaign.
McCarthy took the league by storm after joining Usuthu in December 2020, and took the team from 13th spot to finish second in the league.
Now with a pre-season to work on the team, the ambitious McCarthy will look to take Usuthu even further, and challenge for the league.
And they will start that challenge in the toughest way, against defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns away on the opening day of the league.
Here are their first eight fixtures:
20 August: Mamelodi Sundowns v AmaZulu
25 August: AmaZulu v Swallows
11 or 15 September: AmaZulu v SuperSport United
18 or 22 September: Golden Arrows v AmaZulu
25 September: AmaZulu v Baroka
2 October: AmaZulu v Kaizer Chiefs
17 or 20 October: TS Galaxy v AmaZulu
23 or 27 October: Sekhukhune United v AmaZulu
