Defender Dillan Solomons says Kaizer Chiefs are already looking ahead to competing in the Caf Confederation Cup next season.
After clinching the Nedbank Cup on Saturday with a 2-1 final win against Orlando Pirates 2-1 at Moses Mabhida Stadium to end their 10-year trophy drought, the Glamour Boys have earned the right to participate in continental competition next campaign.
Having seen South African clubs Pirates, Mamelodi Sundowns and Stellenbosch FC do well in interclub tournaments season, Solomons said Amakhosi are inspired and want to also go far.
Downs have reached the Caf Champions League final, where they meet Egyptian outfit Pyramids FC over two legs in Pretoria on May 24 and Cairo on June 1. Pirates exited in the Champions League semifinals and Stellies at the same stage in the Confed.
It's huge. It is big for us as a team. It means we will play in Africa, which has been a goal since the start of the season, Solomons said.
