Super Supporter Plans Kaizer Chiefs Friendly Match Against Major League Soccer Side Atlanta United

• Kaizer Chiefs could take on an American club that inspired the establishment of the Soweto giants
• This is if supporter Derrick Moite could get his way, with the Amakhosi taking on Atlanta United
• Founder of Chiefs Kaizer Motaung played for the now defunct Atlanta Chiefs in the 1960s, inspiring a decision that altered the course of South African football history

Kaizer Chiefs could take on Major League Soccer side Atlanta United in the future if all goes according to plan for a fan.

Derrick Moite hopes that this would be another way of honouring Chiefs founder Kaizer Motaung, who got the idea of forming the club after his time playing for defunct side Atlanta Chiefs in the North American Soccer League from 1968 to 1971.

Kick Off reported that Moite visited Naturena this past week to gift Motaung a specially commissioned painting that illustrated the Chiefs and Amakhosi's contributions to both clubs.

Moite said to Chiefs' website:

"I wanted to do something for the Chairman that would link his past with Atlanta Chiefs and his present team together. So, I got a friend of mine in Ghana to do this artwork which symbolises the Chairman’s past at Atlanta Chiefs, and what he has built at Kaizer Chiefs."

With regard to the proposed match, Moite added:

"A match between Kaizer Chiefs and Atlanta Chiefs will help this, [it is] thanks to the Chairman that, through Kaizer Chiefs, Atlanta Chiefs has lived on in a way."

Last week, it was announced that Motaung will be conferred with an honorary doctorate in social sciences by the University of Cape Town.

Those familiar with Kaizer Chiefs' history would have been left agape at the collection of individuals who converged on Kaizer Chiefs Village in Naturena recently.

As reported by Sports Brief, a constellation of stars from the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s met to discuss various topics around the club.

These included the passing of club great Jerry Sadike, to an upcoming event next month in KwaZulu-Natal to honour the late China Ngema, one of the founders of the Amakhosi in 1970.
