Durban - The second leg of the CAF Champions League fixture between Kaizer Chiefs and Volcan de Moroni scheduled for Saturday evening has been moved to Sunday (kick-off at 2pm) at the Moses Mabhida Stadium, in Durban.

The decision follows lengthy discussions between Kaizer Chiefs, SAFA and CAF after the team from the Comoros failed to arrive in Durban as expected on Friday or Saturday morning for the 19:30 fixture.

“This is not ideal for the Club, but we agreed to the postponement in the spirit of football and out of respect for the fans who bought their tickets and travelled for this fixture,” says Vina Maphosa, Kaizer Chiefs’ communications manager.

Tickets that have been purchased can be used on Sunday and those who cannot attend the match can collect a refund at their nearest Computicket outlet. The match will not be televised.

Tickets are still available at Computicket at R60 and football fans are urged to buy their tickets and support the team.
