Kabuscorp Leads Angola Ahead Kaizer Chiefs CAF Confederation Clash

Kaizer Chiefs are preparing for their CAF Confederation Cup first preliminary round first-leg match against Angolan side Kabuscorp, who recently secured a morale-boosting derby win in the Girabola league. Chiefs face internal challenges, including the likely departure of head coach Nasreddine Nabi, who did not travel with the team and whose relations with the club have soured. Despite a recent 3-1 loss to Sekhukhune United in the Betway Premiership, Chiefs aim to refocus and draw confidence from new signings like Siphesihle Ndlovu, who emphasizes the importance of competition and leadership within the squad. Nabi has urged the team to learn from their recent defeat and maintain confidence as they balance local and continental fixtures. Kabuscorp, 2025 Angolan Cup winners, will host the first leg at the 11 November Stadium, with the second leg scheduled at Chiefs' home ground, FNB Stadium. Both teams qualified for the Confederation Cup through cup victories despite modest league finishes last season, highlighting their potential to make an impact in this continental competition.
