Bolstering the Squad with Experienced Signings

Ronald Pfumbidzai, Abdulrazack Hamza, Terrence Dzvukamanja, and Washington Arubi, who has returned to United, are some of the seasoned players who have joined SuperSport United in preparation for the new season. Additionally, Phathutshezdo Nange, Grant Margeman, and Siphesihle Ndlovu have signed up with the club after an excellent campaign that led to CAF qualification.

Crafting a Strong Lineup for the New Season

SuperSport United’s head coach, Gavin Hunt, is determined to lead his team to success against Richards Bay FC on August 5. Balancing the need for domestic and African tournament success will require strong tactical choices, including potentially substituting Ricardo Goss with Arubi in cup games and CAF matches.

Experienced Defense and Promising Partnership

Thulani Hlatshwayo brings seasoned expertise to the team’s defense, while Luke Fleurs, Ronald Pfumbidzai, and Jesse Donn promise a promising partnership. Onismor Bhasera will play a crucial role at left-back before retiring at the end of the 2023/24 season, while Keenan Phillip is expected to start at right-back against Richards Bay.

Solid Midfield with New Signings

The midfield has undergone some changes, with the departures of Patrick Maswanganyi and Thapelo Maseko. However, the addition of Nange and Margeman, along with Thalente Mbatha and Siphesihle Ndlovu, points to a well-equipped team ready to face their opponents.

Thrilling Attack with Key Players

Long-serving striker Bradley Grobler will continue leading the charge, with support from Gamphani Lungu and Terrence Dzvukamanja, making for a thrilling attack.

Poised for Impact in Domestic and International Stages

With a talented team under the guidance of an experienced coach, SuperSport United is ready to make an impact in both the domestic and international stages. Fans eagerly anticipate the upcoming matches and the potential for glory as the team prepares for a season filled with challenges and opportunities.
