Kaizer Chiefs fans in the Eastern Cape are in for an Easter treat as the club’s upcoming away fixture against Orbit College has undergone a major venue and schedule change.
Initially slated for Rustenburg, the match has been moved to the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha. The relocation comes at the request of the home side, Orbit College, due to the unavailability of the Royal Bafokeng Stadium and the need to accommodate the massive crowd expected whenever the Soweto giants come to town.
New Match Details
Mark your calendars, as the date and kick-off time have also been pulled forward to the holiday weekend:
- New Date: Easter Monday, 6 April 2026
- New Kick-off Time: 15:00
- Venue: Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, Gqeberha
- Original Schedule: Tuesday, 7 April at 19:30
Amakhosi’s Top 3 Ambitions
After a rocky spell of four consecutive defeats, Kaizer Chiefs have found their rhythm under co-coaches Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef. Back-to-back victories against Durban City and Magesi FC have propelled the Glamour Boys to fourth place in the Betway Premiership.
With only nine matches remaining, the race for a CAF Confederation Cup spot is heating up. While Orbit College is viewed as a “winnable” fixture, the path to a top-three finish remains steep, with looming showdowns against title heavyweights Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates.
While Chiefs have held their own against Sundowns recently, they will be desperate to break a five-match winless streak against the Buccaneers to secure their continental ambitions.
