SEDIBENG- Jomo Cosmos face Mike-1-Stars FC in a crucial ABC Motsepe League match at Duduza Stadium tomorrow afternoon, with kick-off set for 15:00.

Both teams desperately need maximum points to climb the league table after playing two games each.

Jomo Cosmos currently sits seventh with three points, while Mike-1-Stars occupy ninth position with a single point.

Club boss Jomo Sono cannot afford to drop any more points, particularly with his side playing at home. Cosmos have spent the last three seasons stuck in the ABC Motsepe League, and Sono is determined to restore the club to its former Premiership status.

He has rebuilt the squad by recruiting unknown youngsters.

Sono admitted South African football has missed the famous side since their relegation, having previously served as a major feeder club for Orlando Pirates and the national team, Bafana Bafana.

Sono has rebuilt the squad by recruiting unknown youngsters and promoting talent from his academy, preparing them through local football tournaments in the Vaal.

The club once stood as a powerhouse that struck fear into opponents alongside giants like Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates, and Mamelodi Sundowns.

Jomo Cosmos also built a legendary reputation for developing top-tier talent, producing former Bafana Bafana coach Pitso Mosimane and former national team captain Aaron ‘Mbazo’ Mokoena from the township of Boipatong.
