Kaizer Chiefs have officially updated their fixture list to confirm that Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg will serve as their home venue for two Betway Premiership encounters this season. The North West stadium, a familiar setting for past domestic and international showdowns, will offer local Amakhosi supporters a direct chance to watch their side in action.
The first fixture at Royal Bafokeng Stadium takes place on 5 September when Kaizer Chiefs host Siwelele FC. The second match in Rustenburg is set for 15 December against TS Galaxy. The remaining home fixtures throughout the league campaign will be hosted at their traditional venue, FNB Stadium.
Building Momentum Off a Resurgent Season
The venue announcement comes as Amakhosi look to build on momentum from a third-place finish in the 2025/26 Betway Premiership campaign. Under the technical direction of Nasreddine Nabi alongside Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze, Chiefs mounted a strong recovery to post their best points total in recent years. Key offensive contributors included Flávio Silva (10 league goals) and Glody Lilepo (9 goals), with Mfundo Vilakazi, Mduduzi Shabalala, and Lebohang Maboe providing consistent creative spark in midfield.
On the continental stage, after securing the Nedbank Cup title, Chiefs featured in Group D of the CAF Confederation Cup with wins over ZESCO United and Al Masry. Their top-three league finish ensured qualification for African competition once again this season.
