Previous encounter between the two giants
FAM competitions & communications director, Gomezgani Zakazaka, is quoted by FAM Media urging the fans to buy in good time to avoid last-minute delays and to ensure their attendance at this crucial match.
“We have put the tickets on the market at least 10 days before the match to ensure the fans have enough time to get the tickets,” he said. “We would like to stress that we will stop selling tickets on Saturday night and there will be no sale of tickets on match day.
“The advance ticket sales will help reduce congestion at the gates, safeguard revenue and accord fans the opportunity to secure tickets at their own convenient time as we are selling both online and physical tickets.”
He added that extra measurers have been taken to step up safety and security of players, fans and property as well smooth entry into the stadium.
“We recently held a high-level Confederation of African Football (CAF) safety and security workshop, and this is the first high profile match we are hosting to put in practice what we learnt and safeguard our football.
“Only small bags will be allowed into the stadium upon searching by security personnel at the gate. Items like fireworks, glass bottle and sharp object will not be allowed.

“We are also engaging the Police and Lilongwe City Assembly to ensure that there are no traffic congestions towards the stadium,” he said. “Follow us on Facebook and all social media handles and websites for live updates and important announcements.”—Content by Fam.mw; edited by Maravi Express
