Kaizer Chiefs have numbers, and plenty of them. Amakhosi are sitting with a 39-man squad a month into the 2025/26 Betway Premiership.
The club’s Tunisian head coach, Nasreddine Nabi, has studied his squad and called it what it is: bloated, and tough decisions are already in motion.
So before the transfer window slams shut on Monday, 22 September, let’s have a quick look at the Kaizer Chiefs squad right now.
KAIZER CHIEFS SQUAD BEFORE LOAN EXITS
While the CAF Confederation Cup is returning to the FNB Stadium this season, squad depth will be tested. However, Nabi believes younger Amakhosi players need to get valuable minutes elsewhere to prepare for the demands of the Betway Premiership.
Here’s the full 39-man Kaizer Chiefs squad:
Goalkeepers
- Bruce Bvuma
- Fiacre Ntwari
- Brandon Petersen
- Bontle Molefe
Defenders
- Given Msimango
- Rushwin Dortley
- Inacio Miguel
- Aden McCarthy
- Paseko Mako
- Bradley Cross
- Nkanyiso Shinga

MIDFIELDERS
- Sibongiseni Mthethwa

With the CAF Confederation Cup on the horizon and a long season ahead, Nabi knows he’ll need every bit of depth he can get. But trimming the squad to develop Amakhosi youngsters on loan will be equally important.
