Chippa United 2026/27 Results So Far

The league results come from the PSL match centre on psl.co.za. Two early “home” games were played away from the Eastern Cape, in Soweto and Durban. What stands out:

• Chippa drew 1-1 with Mamelodi Sundowns in East London on 12 September. Sundowns led the log on 26 points in early November.
• They let in only 7 goals in nine league games, and kept four clean sheets.
• Scoring is the problem: 6 goals in nine games, and no goal in four of them.
• The cup run ended early. Golden Arrows won 4-0 in the Carling Knockout last 16 in Durban on 24 October.

The win at Stellenbosch

A week after the cup defeat, Chippa won 2-0 at Stellenbosch on 31 October 2026. Harold Majadibodu scored in the 27th minute and Imraan Jones added the second in the 83rd. It was only their second league win of the season, but it lifted them to 7th.

After the game, Truter said a visit from chairman Siviwe Mpengesi in the week before had given the players belief. He also spoke about media talk that he should lose his job during the poor run, and said the club was making progress under him.

Where Chippa United stand on the log

Who Is the Chippa United Coach?

Brandon Truter is the head coach. Before Chippa, his last job was at second-tier club Upington City.

Chippa brought him in during May 2026, a few days before the last game of the 2025/26 season, when the club was fighting relegation. TimesLIVE counted him as Chippa’s seventh coach of that season, after Sinethemba Badela, Musa Nyatama, Morgan Mammila, Luc Eymael, Vusumuzi Vilakazi and interim coach Nkosohlanga Dikeni. At the time, Mpengesi said Truter could also be the coach for the next season, and he has been in charge for all of 2026/27 so far.

Changing coaches often is part of the club’s story. Chippa have had more than 20 different head coaches since 2010, and some, such as Dan Malesela and Luc Eymael, came back for a second or third spell.

The Story of Chippa United

From the Cape Town lower leagues to the top flight (2010 to 2014)

Siviwe Mpengesi, the businessman known as “Chippa”, bought the Vodacom League franchise of Paarl club Mbekweni Cosmos in 2010 and renamed it Chippa United. The club started in Cape Town, won promotion to the National First Division after one season, and reached the Premiership through the play-offs in 2012.

The first stay was short. Chippa went down after the 2012/13 season, then won the National First Division in 2013/14 and came straight back up.

A home in the Eastern Cape

After the second promotion in 2014, the club moved to the Eastern Cape and signed a deal to play at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, built for the 2010 World Cup. Later it also started to use Buffalo City Stadium in East London. In 2026/27 Chippa split their home games between the two grounds. The Kaizer Chiefs game on 28 November 2026 is in Gqeberha.

The great escape of May 2026

Chippa went into the last round of 2025/26 one point below the relegation play-off place. Under Truter, in his first game, they beat Kaizer Chiefs 1-0 at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Saturday 23 May 2026 and stayed in the Premiership.
