Domestic professional football returns from the suspension imposed by the Premier Soccer League (PSL) on March 16 due to Covid-19 with the Nedbank Cup semifinals on August 8.
The Premiership‚ where Chiefs are league leaders‚ returns the following week.
The revised fixtures are yet to be released by the PSL‚ but the venues were determined in a televised draw on Wednesday morning.
All Premiership teams have to play behind closed doors at one of eight neutral venues in the Johannesburg and Pretoria BSE. The Gauteng-based teams are not allowed to play at their normal home venues.
