De Villiers wishes Kaizer Chiefs and SuperSport luck ahead of CAF weekend

The Premier Soccer League (PSL) CEO, Brand de Villiers has wished the two South African clubs involved in CAF continental club football the best of luck ahead of their respective matches this weekend.

Both Kaizer Chiefs and SuperSport United will kick-off their continental campaigns when they play in the CAF Champions League and CAF Confederations Cup respectively.

Kaizer Chiefs, the reigning Absa Premiership champions, will host Black Africa from Namibia in the CAF Champions League at the FNB Stadium on Saturday night. Kick-off is at 20h00.

SuperSport United will also be at home against Gaborone United at the Lucas Moripe Stadium. Kickoff is at 20h15 in the CAF Confederations Cup.

 De Villiers said: “This weekend is very important not only for Kaizer Chiefs and SuperSport United but for the Premier Soccer League. The two clubs do not just represent their badge but they carry the South African flag and the hopes of the entire country. On behalf of the League, I would like to wish both Kaizer Chiefs and SuperSport United the best of luck.  

The PSL CEO added: “I believe last year revived the appetite and hunger of many South African clubs for continental glory. More than ever before, we all know the importance of excelling at this level as a country. Orlando Pirates went to the finals of the CAF Champions League, this year, we have to aim for a step further. It is therefore important for the football loving public to go in numbers and back our teams as we make yet another attempt to conquer continental club football.”
