⚠️ Drama at FNB Stadium: Kaizer Chiefs Head Coach Collapses on the Pitch During Match!
Johannesburg, 16 August 2025 – Shock and panic swept through the FNB Stadium this evening as Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi suddenly collapsed on the touchline during a tense DStv Premiership clash.
The incident occurred in the 72nd minute, just as Chiefs were pressing for a decisive goal. Support staff and medical personnel rushed immediately to Nabi’s side, while players from both teams signaled frantically for urgent assistance. The stadium, packed with thousands of Amakhosi supporters, fell into stunned silence.
After several minutes of treatment on the field, Nabi was stretchered off and transported to a nearby medical facility. Early reports suggest the collapse may have been linked to exhaustion or a sudden health scare, though no official confirmation has yet been released.
Captain Itumeleng Khune, visibly shaken after the match, told reporters:
“Football became secondary in that moment. All we wanted was for coach Nabi to be okay. The entire team is behind him.”
Fans expressed their concern on social media, with hashtags #PrayForNabi and #AmakhosiFamily trending within minutes. Many supporters gathered outside the stadium long after the final whistle, waiting anxiously for news about their coach’s condition.
Club officials have promised to release an official statement once more information is available. For now, the entire Kaizer Chiefs family – and South African football as a whole – is united in hope for the coach’s swift recovery.
