Kaizer Chiefs Lead DDC Standings as Former Champions Dominate Top Four

Kaizer Chiefs are setting the pace in the DStv Diski Challenge (DDC), with the Soweto giants leading a top-four race featuring four clubs that have previously lifted the reserve league title.

Amakhosi currently occupy first position following an impressive campaign, as they look to turn their strong form into another championship-winning season.

The interesting feature of the latest standings is that all four teams in the top four have tasted DDC success in previous campaigns.

Mamelodi Sundowns are second, while Golden Arrows occupy third place. Orlando Pirates complete the top four in fourth position.

Each club has a history of winning the competition, making the current standings particularly interesting as the season progresses.

Chiefs won their maiden DDC championship in 2025 and are now targeting another title to strengthen their position among the competition’s successful teams.

Sundowns, who claimed the championship in 2017, will be hoping to close the gap on the leaders and challenge for another trophy.

Golden Arrows have an even stronger record, having won the competition twice, in 2016 and 2018. Their achievements place them among the few clubs to have secured multiple DDC championships.

Pirates, meanwhile, are the defending champions after winning the 2026 edition. They will be determined to remain in contention and potentially defend their crown.

The challenge for Chiefs is to maintain their consistency and avoid dropping points as the competition enters its decisive stages.

Winning the championship again would see Amakhosi become only the third club to win the DDC title twice, joining Golden Arrows and Stellenbosch FC in that exclusive group.

With four former champions occupying the leading positions, the battle for this season’s trophy promises to be competitive.

However, Chiefs currently have the advantage and will be determined to finish the campaign as champions once again.
