History and achievements
Kaizer Chiefs is a South African club founded in 1970 in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The club got its name after its founder Kaizer Motaung, the former South African striker who played in the USA for a long time.
Kaizer Chiefs compete in the top-flight Premier Soccer League since its inaugural 1996/97 season. The team finished in the upper half of the PSL table for the first seven years, however, they claimed their first silverware only in the 2003/04 season. The next season the Chiefs repeated the feat beating their bitterest rivals Orlando Pirates in the last game of the campaign.
However, the club’s historic campaign is considered to be the 2001/02 season when Kaizer Chiefs won four major trophies: the Vodacom Challenge, the BP Top Eight, the Coca-Cola Cup and the African Cup Winners’ Cup. That season the club was awarded the CAF Club of the Year title for these achievements.
Kaizer Chiefs are often nicknamed Amakhosi (the Chiefs) or Glamour Boys. The team hold their domestic matches at FNB Stadium with the capacity of about 95,000.
