Kaizer Chiefs Marketing and Commercial Director Jessica Motaung says qualifying for the CAF Confederation Cup knockout stages is critical in defining their current project.
Chiefs are one game away from securing a place in the quarterfinals as they lead their group (10pts) ahead of Zamalek and their domestic rivals Al Masry, who have eight and seven points respectively.
The White Knights need a victory, should Al Masry beat ZESCO United to secure a place in the next round, which could eliminate Chiefs, which makes for a fascinating fixture in Cairo this weekend.
“It’s a very significant game against Zamalek this weekend, for many reasons that you said but most importantly for us to continue our growth on the continent,” Motaung said.

“So, this is a game I’m saying to all our supporters, watch us, scream as much as you can, support our players and that goes for our fans also on the continent, and make sure we go to the next stage [quarterfinals]. This is critical in defining where we go for the future.
“I want to thank the fans, thank them for supporting Chiefs and recognise and value their passion but we must also show love and pace, care for our players, who committed their careers and their time to make sure they don this jersey and play the best they can.
“Sometimes things don’t work out the way we want but certainly we are about love and peace, and we must make sure we support our players, as fans as well.
“Sometimes social media has changed the game where you can critique everything, but let’s find positivity in what’s being done.”
