After a thrilling start to South Africa's football season, the Carling Knockout could add more twists and turns when it kicks off on Friday, with Stellenbosch taking on Kaizer Chiefs in the pick of the round.

When Mohau Nkota moved from Kimberley to join Orlando Pirates around four years ago, he battled homesickness, but through a period of rapid change, as he shot up to the first team, he leaned on teammate Relebohile Mofokeng.

Benin coach Gernot Rohr says that his team's path to the 2026 FIFA World Cup remains 'very difficult' despite being handed top spot in their qualifying group after South Africa were docked three points by FIFA.

Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) arbitrator Raymond Hack has slammed SAFA for their response to the three-point deduction for fielding the ineligible Teboho Mokoena against Lesotho.

After suffering a shock 1-0 preliminary round first leg defeat in Angola, Kaizer Chiefs will look to salvage their CAF Confederation Cup campaign at FNB Stadium against Kabuscorp on Saturday.
