Kaizer Chiefs FC head coach Fernando Da Cruz has declared his team will chase every available title in the 2026/27 season. The French tactician insists Amakhosi will approach each competition with the same hunger after a difficult trophyless campaign.
What are Kaizer Chiefs FC's targets for 2026/27?
Da Cruz outlined his ambitions for the upcoming season, emphasizing the need to compete in both the Betway Premiership and cup competitions. "We will play every game to win," he stated. "The championship is a marathon, but we must stay close to the top teams by March or April. We also want to win every cup available."
Why is this season crucial for Kaizer Chiefs FC?
The Soweto giants have won just one trophy in the past decade, intensifying pressure on Da Cruz and his squad. Their last major honor was the Nedbank Cup, and fans expect a return to dominance. The 2026/27 campaign offers a chance to rebuild their reputation as title contenders.
What does Kaizer Chiefs FC's fixture list look like?
Chiefs open their competitive season with a Toyota Cup clash against Scottland FC on Sunday, 26 July, at the Royal Bafokeng Sports Complex. Their Betway Premiership campaign begins on Saturday, 1 August, with an away fixture against newly promoted Kruger United at Mbombela Stadium.
How will Kaizer Chiefs FC handle the pressure?
Da Cruz acknowledges the expectations but remains focused on consistency. With multiple competitions on the calendar, Chiefs must maintain performance across a congested schedule. The coach’s bold stance reflects confidence in his squad’s ability to deliver results.
