KAIZER Chiefs and Orlando Pirates are jetting off abroad for oss-season.
Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates are reportedly leaving for Europe on Thursday, July 6, with both teams setting up camp in Spain for their respective pre-season tours.
Marking their first-ever pre-season visit to Spain – having previously prepared in Turkey and the Netherlands – Amakhosi will be based at the coveted Pinatar Arena Football Centre in Murcia.
The tour will be led by new head coach Fernando Da Cruz. Interestingly, Da Cruz had a notable stint with the team during their tour of Turkey two seasons ago before dramatically resigning ahead of the season opener. This time around, Chiefs have lined up some thrilling friendlies under his guidance.
They are set to face Scottish giants Rangers FC in Marbella on Saturday, July 12, followed by Saudi Arabian side Al Kholood at the Pinatar Arena three days later on July 15. They will close off their Spanish tour against local outfit Elche CF, also at the Pinatar Arena, on Saturday, July 18.
