Kaizer Chiefs captain Brandon Petersen says his side are ready for the challenge ahead of their MTN8 opener against Golden Arrows.

Amakhosi made the perfect start to their 2026/27 campaign with a 3-1 victory over newly promoted Kruger United last weekend.

Amakhosi will now shift their focus to the MTN8, where they host Golden Arrows at the FNB Stadium on Sunday evening.

Petersen says confidence is growing within the squad ahead of the new season, with the club’s new signings settling in well and the players embracing the coach’s philosophy.

“The mood in the camp is great,” Petersen told his club’s official website.

“The new guys have been settling in nicely and we are adapting to the coach’s style. So far, so good. After our performance against Kruger United we are all enthusiastic about the season ahead.

“Playing them is always a tough challenge. They are well structured and tactically disciplined.

“We know we’ll have our work cut out, but come Sunday, I know the guys will be up for it.”
