R1.7 million coming into Kaizer Chiefs’ bank

Kaizer Chiefs and Stellenbosch FC, the second Betway Premiership representative, will fly the South African flag in the CAF Confederation Cup.

Amakhosi sealed a spot after winning last season’s Nedbank Cup final, thanks to Yusuf Maart’s superb late winner at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.

According to CAF, each participating team in the preliminary rounds will now pocket R1.7 million to help cover travel, accommodation, and match preparation. That’s double the previous amount.

The Soweto giants have been drawn against Kabuscorp Sport Clube do Palanca, known simply as Kabuscorp, from Angola.
