Kaizer Chiefs confirm Polokwane as new home for three league games

Kaizer Chiefs have officially confirmed that they will play three of their home DStv Premiership games at Peter Mokaba Stadium this season. 

This comes after the Soweto giants reached an agreement with the Polokwane municipality.

The three matches that will take place at Peter Mokaba Stadium will be against Royal AM [29 January 2023], Golden Arrows [19 February 2023] and lastly a Soweto Derby clash against Swallows [2 May 2023].

KAIZER CHIEFS DELIGHTED TO PLAY IN POLOKWANE… 

“We are delighted to be back in the province of Limpopo and the city of Polokwane in particular, where we enjoy great support,” said Kaizer Chiefs Marketing and Commercial Director Jessica Motaung. 

“We are looking forward to three exciting games with a full stadium because we know that the people of Limpopo will come out in numbers because they love Amakhosi. 

“Their support proved key in the past when we lifted the league trophy with the New Peter Mokaba as our home venue.

“We hope that history will be repeated when we play at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium again.”

The club also revealed that they will be playing some of their home games in the City of Polokwane for three seasons to come. 

“We believe in long-term agreements; and being in Polokwane for three years means we will be working with the municipality to achieve our goals or promoting the sport, particularly football in the city,” she added. 

The Glamour Boys managed to lift some silverware when they played in Polokwane between 2011 and 2015. 

POLOKWANE MUNICIPALITY READY TO HOST KAIZER CHIEFS

Meanwhile, Polokwane City Manager Thuso Nemugumoni added: “Having Kaizer Chiefs in Polokwane is a strategic move as we know the economic impact it will have on the city. 

“We know the games will boost tourism with many people travelling to Polokwane and also that jobs will be created, with small businesses standing to benefit from this. 

“We are looking forward to having Kaizer Chiefs playing their home games in the city of Polokwane for the next three years.”
