Forest, Chiefs headline season opener

However, the dusty grounds in the second tier football have attracted a reasonable following across the country. Those particular football fans were earlier this week thrown into some level of excitement after the First Division South (FDS) league released fixtures for the 2021-2022 football season. Former elite league campaigners, Black Forest and Mochudi Centre Chiefs will headline the opening weekend, with the season kick-off scheduled for November 13. The two teams are favourites for the automatic promotion slot. Magoleng will host Magosi at the Black Forest Arena in Mankgodi. Both sides, who bit the dust in the 2018-2019 season, will be playing their third consecutive season in the First Division.

Magoleng have shown their readiness off the field after penning a deal with local sports brand, URI Sports. The team will be motivated by the presence of attacking midfielder, Mogomotsi Kerebotswe who has retained the captaincy role. Kerebotswe is one of the longest-serving players at the Mankgodi-based club. Goalkeeper, Michael James will remain at the club. The shot-stopper was one of the best performing players in the team during their stay in the Premiership.
