Chippa withdraws from the Home of Legends Cup

According to a report from FARPostCelebrating South Africa’s rich football heritage, the Home of Legends Cup competition offers football fans the opportunity to experience a highly competitive match between the country’s best sides.

Chippa explained that they were not happy with the distribution of the money between the teams involved in the competition, or the behavior of the CEO of the Nelson Mandela Bay Development Agency, Anele Qaba.

The Chilli Boys have released an official statement confirming their decision to withdraw from the competition.

“As a club with deep roots in Gqeberha, we are disheartened by the lack of transparency in the planning of this event,” the club said.

“Despite our openness to collaboration and compromise, the agency’s CEO, Anele Qaba, has shown a disappointing reluctance to engage with us given the high-profile teams involved. One of our main concerns is the unequal treatment in the distribution of funds and resources for this event.”

“Chippa already gets millions from the municipality, they are just greedy now.”

“Sundowns vs Arrows.. Chiefs straight to the final, abuyile Amakhosi.”

Mr_Ruralitarian responded:

“Bizana Pondo Chiefs is available. We don’t need Chippa united, because we have both Chiefs and Sundowns there, we will definitely get supporters and also generate income for business at that location. Chippa is not a community builder, I can’t wait to get people as Matlou, potsan, etc.”

ka_madesi noted:

“PSL should start banning private tournaments during the season. Sponsors of the league are certainly not happy with these fake tournaments aimed at raising money for Kaizer Chiefs. Once the league starts, clubs should be banned from organizing flyby night cup competitions.”

mavukans shared:

“So they were happy to participate and initially did not object and raised the issue of infrastructure. When they realized they would not get a substantial or equal share, they raised this as a principled position. Nonsense.”
