Kaizer Chiefs Football Club has requested the Premier Soccer League to postpone all their five upcoming matches in the month of December due to the increasing COVID-19 cases in the team.

Chiefs have reported no less than 31 positive cases in the team.

Players and staff at Chiefs are being closely monitored for symptoms and are regularly tested.

Chiefs appeal to PSL

The Club has written to the Premier Soccer League to request for a postponement of the five upcoming games in December against Cape Town City, Golden Arrows, Sekhukhune FC, Royal AM and Maritzburg United https://t.co/spTxl3OiTT#Amakhosi4Life

Chiefs, who currently occupy second spot in the DSTV Premier League, are scheduled to face Cape Town City on Saturday.

The other four matches for the club were against Golden Arrows, Sekhukhune United, Royal AM, and Maritzburg United.

According to the statement released by Chiefs, the club at the moment does not have sufficient players nor technical staff to constitute a team.

Meanwhile, Sunday’s CAF Confederation Cup between Orlando Pirates and LPRC Oilers of Liberia has been called off. The Liberian club has pulled out of the competition. It is still not clear why the Liberian club pulled out.

Pirates won the first leg of their third qualifying round 2-nil away in Monrovia last weekend. As a result, the club will advance to the group stages of the Confederation Cup without kicking the ball.
