Kaizer Chiefs Chairman Dr. Kaizer Motaung has sent a heartfelt message of support to Bafana Bafana, who are currently participating in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco.

Hugo Broos' men opened their campaign with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Angola on Monday, and will lock horns with seven-time African champions Egypt on Friday, 26 December.

With the highly anticipated clash looming, Motaung senior rallied behind Bafana on behalf of Chiefs and the South African football fraternity at large.

“We send our best wishes to our national men's team, Bafana Bafana, who are currently in Morocco representing Mzansi at the Africa Cup of Nations. We watched the opening game against Angola and now look forward to the clash against Egypt on Family Day, 26 December,” he told Chiefs' media team.

"As Kaizer Chiefs, we know the challenges of playing against teams from those after recently playing Kabuscorp of Angola and Zamalek and Al Masry from Egypt, yet we believe in your strength and resilience as South Africans to prevail.

On the Soweto giants' exploits in 2025, the Chiefs boss highlighted the end of a decade-long trophy drought and the reserve team's showing in the Dstv Diski Challenge (DDC) last season, as moments to be proud of.

“This year has been a special one for Kaizer Chiefs. We celebrated our 55th anniversary, a milestone that speaks to the legacy and resilience of our club. To put the cherry on top, our senior team rewarded your unwavering support with the Nedbank Cup trophy and a return to one of CAF's club competitions, the Confederation Cup,” Motaung reflected.

"Our reserve team also made history by lifting the Dstv Diski Challenge (DDC) trophy for the very first time in record-breaking fashion. These achievements are gifts that we hope have brought smiles to our loyal supporters in 2025.
