KAIZER Chiefs sporting director Kaizer Motaung jr has stepped forward to support Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos, amid growing noise around the perceived lack of Amakhosi representation in national team squads this year.

The debate intensified after Broos named his 54-man preliminary squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, with Chiefs contributing four players to the long list.

In recent weeks, some supporters questioned whether Chiefs footballers were being overlooked compared to their rivals in the Betway Premiership.

But Motaung jr quickly shut down talk of bias, insisting the club fully backs Broos’ methods and long-term vision.

“If you ask anyone from any club, they'll want to have as many players in the national team as possible and we're very proud of the work Hugo Broos has done,” he said.
