The Glamour Boys secured their spot in Africa's second-tier continental tournament after winning the Nedbank Cup and ending their 10-year trophy drought.

Nabi's side entered the competition in the first preliminary round and will face the Angolan side, who secured their place in the tournament by winning the 2024/25 Angolan Cup.

According to Pan-Africa Football, Kabuscorp's head coach, Beto Bianchi, claimed that he knows Amakhosi and was aware of the team's profile in Africa, but revealed he was not shaken by the matchup.

"Kaizer Chiefs is a traditional club in African competitions, but we have our arguments," Bianchi said. "Nowadays, soccer is pretty much equal. It will be tough for both teams,” he added, according to Pan-Africa Football.

The Brazilian said he knew South African football well, and he had a plan in place for the Naturena.

"We have enough time to prepare well for this game, and we will stay tuned to their performance in Africa. I think before the game, they will have five official games,” the coach added.
