Chiefs' Worst Fears - Not Another Milford!

In an upset of epic proportions, South Africas most storied club Kaizer Chiefs ended up on the Nedbank Cup also-rans scrapheap after losing in the opening round to little-known KwaZulu-Natal first-division club Milford FC at home last season.

The 2025 first-round draw has served up another David versus Goliath scenario which will play out on Sunday at the FNB Stadium starting at 6pm, where Chiefs will host the third-tier ABC Motsepe League side Free Agents FC.

Chiefs will be looking back at last year's debacle with hope to avoid a repeat.

Chiefs Tunisian coach Nabi Nasreddine would have reflected on the disaster, but he won't be in the dug-out on Sunday to lend support.

He is serving a suspension, and this gives his nervous system a break ahead of next week's Soweto Derby at the same venue.
