After a painful two-year exile from South Africa’s premier early-season knockout competition, Kaizer Chiefs return to the MTN8 stage this Sunday evening. The Glamour Boys welcome Durban outfit Golden Arrows to the FNB Stadium for a blockbuster quarter-final clash with a spot in the last four on the line.
Having last lifted the Wafa Wafa trophy back in 2014 under Stuart Baxter, Amakhosi enter the 2026/27 tournament determined to end a decade-long MTN8 drought. With head coach Fernando Da Cruz instilling a fresh, fluid playing philosophy, expectations are sky-high across Soweto.

Chiefs head into Sunday’s clash riding momentum from an impressive 3-1 opening weekend victory against Kruger United, highlighted by a clinical second-half brace from 22-year-old forward Wandile Duba.
Golden Arrows, meanwhile, started their campaign with a goalless 0-0 draw against Chippa United and will look to midfielder Nhlanhla Zwane to disrupt Chiefs’ midfield tempo.
With rivals Mamelodi Sundowns and defending champions Orlando Pirates playing earlier in the weekend, Chiefs will know their potential path to the semi-finals before kicking off in Soweto.
