Kaizer Chiefs were handed a tough away tie in the Carling Knockout Cup last 16 as the 2024 was launched on Tuesday, 8 October.
The draw took place at the Galleria in Sandton and was broadcast live on SuperSport Channel 202 and SABC Sport.
The Phefeni Glamour Boys were part of the clubs that were unseeded since they finished the last season outside top eight. The ones that finished within the top half were seeded.
Chiefs, who were eliminated from the competition in the first round by AmaZulu FC last season, were drawn against SuperSport United this time around.
Meanwhile, Orlando Pirates take on league’s newbies Magesi FC while Mamelodi Sundowns will host Lamontville Golden Arrows.
