How CAPS United Fans Reacted To First Champions League Win

CAPS United finally participate in the CAF Champions League for the first time in over 10 years and the achievement means so much for their hungry fans who have stood by and waited on them unwaveringly in the last decade.

Soccer24 takes you on a journey into the emotions of some die-hard CAPS United fans on how the 2-1 comeback win inspired feelings of hope in Makepekepe, as they are affectionately known, and what the result means for them ahead of DR Congo giants T.P Mazembe away in Kinshasa:

“Today’s win showed that as CAPS United, nothing is going to stop us. What we have seen today is a sign of bigger things ahead because CAPS United is called ‘T.P Makepekepe’ meaning ‘Too Powerful Makepekepe’. T.P Mazembe is now a mere name whereas CAPS United is now a brand. We’ll certainly win” – Papa Jose.
