The South African Football Association has said that they are not anticipating any issues ahead of Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates’ trips to Angola for their Caf competition clashes despite South Africans currently banned from travelling to the country due to the second wave of coronavirus hitting the country.
The two Soweto giants are both scheduled to play CAF return leg fixtures next week – Amakhosi having to travel to Primeiro de Agosto for their Champions League group stage play-off clash, while the Buccaneers are hosting Sagrada Esperanca on January 6.
“We are talking to Angola about those interclub fixtures and the football authorities have to consult with the government and get back to us.
“There may very well be exceptions because of the interclub competitions and we don’t expect there to be an issue for the Chiefs and Pirates games to go ahead.”
Chiefs were held to a goalless draw by Primeiro, but they don’t play a domestic game until January 9 and this allows them ample time to get their travelling logistics in order given the Covid-19 requirements of late.
