Kaizer Chiefs’ Trip To Morocco Postponed Until Today!

Kaizer Chiefs‘ Trip To Morocco Postponed Until Today! Amakhosi had been set to travel to Morocco to face Wydad Casablanca on Saturday.

However their trip to Morocco has been an impossible task. Firstly, Kaizer Chiefs announced that members of their assembly had still not received visas to travel to North Africa.

This is despite all the documents being sent in a timely fashion.

“Kaizer Chiefs made all the necessary arrangements to travel including booking flights, securing accommodation, submission of visa applications and everything that is required for the trip.” Chiefs reported yesterday.

Following the submission of the application for visas, the club has been in constant communication with CAF, the Moroccan Embassy in SA, South African Embassy in Morocco, SAFA, Wydad Casablanca, the Moroccan football association and the Department of International Relations and Corporation (DIRCO) to ensure that the application for visas is processed and approved.

Wydad did confirm that they are awaiting confirmation from their Ministry of Health to grant Kaizer Chiefs special permission to enter the country because South Africa is on the list of countries that have been banned from entering Morocco due of the high numbers of the Covid-19 infections. No response has been received by Wydad or Kaizer Chiefs to this effect.” They concluded.

Kaizer Chiefs later reported that they are set to fly to Morocco today. This is if everything moves according to plan

“Due to the hold up with the issuing of visas to Morocco and lack of communication from the Moroccan football federation and authorities on the matter that involves Kaizer Chiefs travelling to the north African country, the club had no option but to move their travel to tomorrow, pending the resolution of the matter and cooperation from all the relevant parties.”

This is a common trait of South African teams travelling to African countries. Particularly Northern and West African countries.
