Soweto’s Greatest Rivalry! A New Chapter in Soweto: Cedric Kaze vs Abdeslam Ouaddou

The stage is set for one of South Africa’s most anticipated football spectacles as Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates prepare to lock horns in the Soweto Derby.

On Thursday, 26 February 2026, Kaizer Chiefs co-coach Cedric Kaze and Orlando Pirates head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou addressed the media at the Nasrec Expo Centre in Johannesburg, just two days before the sold‑out clash in the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season.

Both coaches are making their debut as the primary technical leads in this fixture for the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season.
