Winning Nedbank Cup Run Can Send Kaizer Chiefs Into Africa

Khalil Ben Youssef says Kaizer Chiefs deserve to play continental football on a regular basis, and thats why they are eager to win the Nedbank Cup this season.

Chiefs have had a tough start to the season. They missed out on the MTN8 and Carling Knockout, while theyve been inconsistent in the Premiership.

Their run in the league has seen them fall behind in the league title race as they trail log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns, who have two games in hand, by 12 points.

And with the title race looking to be between Sundowns and Orlando Pirates, the Amakhosi could only have an impressive season if they finish third on the log.

A third-place finish also guarantees continental football via the CAF Confederation Cup next season a secondary competition to the coveted Champions League.
