Thus FAM is encouraging fans to buy tickets to the match through online; https://www.famticketsmw.com to enjoy a discount of K1,000 for Standard Ticket being offered at K4,000 while the physical ticket is at K5,000.
The VIP is less by K5,000 through online at K10,000 with K15,000 for physical while the Corporate Box is at K200,000 for 10 people.
The NBM Women’s Premiership 2026/27 is being highly patronised following the Scorchers fairytale run at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAfCON) Morocco 2026 where they reached the final and also qualified for their debut Women World Cup to be hosted by Brazil in 2027.
But the NBM Women’s Premiership matches are free entry, which should attract a gate charge since this women’s top flight league identifies potential talent for the women national teams at all levels.
For his provisional preparatory squad, coach Lovemore Fazili has included goalkeeper of Rumphi Sisters, Jane Nyirenda, whose side are NBM Womens Premiership-debutants.
Rumphi Sisters qualified into the top flight as champions of the Northern Region and while they have so far lost their three matches, they are proving to make an impression any time soon.

FAM wants the large numbers into order to highly rally behind the Scorchers to register a strong win in the 1st leg before travelling for the reverse fixture to be held on October 13.
The winner will progress to the next round to face winners between Kenya and Seychelles in February next year.
There are 32 teams in the 2nd round from which 16 teams will qualify to the 3rd round to compete eight teams that will go to Round 4.
The final four nations will compete in the last round to determine two teams to represent Africa for the Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
After their fairytale at the WAfCON, much more is expected from the Scorchers to bulldoze Zimbabwe aside.
