The wait is over for the Amakhosi faithful. Kaizer Chiefs have touched down in Ndola for a high-stakes CAF Confederation Cup showdown against ZESCO United, and the national broadcaster has confirmed that fans back home won’t miss a second of the action.
SABC 2 (and SABC 1, per official club updates) will broadcast the match live this Sunday, January 25, 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 15:00 SA Time.
The Group D Crisis: Do or Die for Chiefs
Amakhosi enter the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium under immense pressure. After two matchdays, the Glamour Boys sit in a precarious third place in Group D. With only the top two teams advancing to the knockout stages, this fixture is widely regarded as a “season-defining” moment.
Group D Standings as of Matchday 3:
- Al Masry: 6 pts
- Zamalek: 4 pts
- Kaizer Chiefs: 1 pt
- ZESCO United: 0 pts
A loss in Zambia could effectively end Chiefs’ continental dreams, while a win would breathe new life into a campaign that has struggled to get out of first gear.
Confidence Boost: The McCarthy Factor
Chiefs arrive in Zambia with fresh momentum after snapping a four-match winless streak. Their 1-0 victory over Golden Arrows earlier this week—secured by a historic header from young defender Aden McCarthy—has provided a much-needed morale boost for Cedric Kaze’s 22-man squad.
