Chicago Fire FC

Chicago Fire FC centre-back Mbekezeli Mbokazi has admitted that he faced a 'difficult' time amid public scrutiny of his transfer from Orlando Pirates, but expressed confidence his time to play in more established leagues will come.

Berhalter suggested Major League Soccer was superior to South Africa's Betway Premiership and could lead to more opportunities for the centre-back and for winger Puso Dithejane.

All 30 MLS clubs have new jerseys for 2026, so who boasts the best (and worst) threads in the league? ESPN ranks them from first to worst.

The Betway Premiership mid-season transfer window has closed. There were big movements among some of South Africa's biggest clubs, so which of Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates, or Kaizer Chiefs did the best business in January?

Hugo Broos has again criticised Mbekezeli Mbokazi's move to Chicago Fire, urging him to move to Europe and follow in the footsteps of Vincent Kompany, another player he coached at a young age.

Bafana Bafana lost 1-0 to 10-man Egypt in Agadir on Friday, with Mohamed Salah scoring a contentious penalty, but new Chicago Fire centre-back Mbekezeli Mbokazi can hold his head up high after a strong performance.

Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos has publicly apologised for his comments on centre-back Mbekezeli Mbokazi and agent Basia Michaels, but reiterated his denial of accusations of racism and sexism.

Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos' straight-talking approach has usually worked out well, but his recent comments on Mbekezeli Mbokazi were not only factually incorrect, but out of touch with Mzansi.

A minority party within South Africa's ruling coalition government have reported Hugo Broos to the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) over comments regarding Mbekezeli Mbokazi and his agent, Basia Michaels.

South Africa men's national team head coach Hugo Broos is not a fan of Mbekezeli Mbokazi's move to Major League Soccer side Chicago Fire FC, saying the Bafana Bafana youngster should have chosen a better team.
