Overview
- Kaizer Chiefs announced on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, that they have signed 27-year-old Adolf Mtasingwa Bitegeko from Azam FC for an undisclosed fee following successful talks between the clubs.
- Bitegeko is a defensive midfielder who spent six seasons in Iceland, Norway and Finland before returning to Tanzania in 2024 and captained Azam to a third-place league finish last season.
- The club confirmed the move completes another piece of their transfer-window activity that has already brought in Thabo/Thabiso Moloisane and Renaldo Leaner.
- Chiefs also announced the loan of Rwandan goalkeeper Fiacre Ntwari to newly promoted Kruger United for the 2026/27 season to give the player more first-team minutes.
- Bitegeko becomes the first Tanzanian to join Kaizer Chiefs, extending the club’s pan‑African recruitment and giving the player a chance to establish himself in South Africa before the Toyota Cup match at Royal Bafokeng Stadium.
