Amakhosi managed to book a date with Al Ahly on the backdrop of a difficult season especially on the domestic front
Kaizer Chiefs forward Leonardo Castro has described how they managed to make history by reaching the Caf Champions League final for the first time ever despite a plethora of challenges they faced as a “huge achievement”.
The Soweto giants meet nine-time African champions and current title holders Al Ahly at Stade Mohamed V Stadium on July 17.
In a season Chiefs were forbidden from signing players by Fifa, endured long-term injuries to key players like Khama Billiat and Dumisani Zuma while also recording some Covid-19 cases in their camp, Amakhosi appeared to have punched above their weight by reaching the Champions League final.
