Heroes Stadium to host its first league match

Heroes Stadium to host its first league match

All roads in Lusaka lead to the National Heroes Stadium with league leaders Zanaco facing off with Kitwe giants Nkana Football Club in a rescheduled week 7 fixture to be played on Saturday 2 July 2016.

It is the first time that a League match in the Zambian Super Division is being played at the 50,000 capacity stadium.

Zanaco decided to move the match from Sunset to the Heroes due to security reasons. Their traditional ground Sunset Stadium also has limited sitting areas for fans and the Bankers have decided to use the National Stadium to attract more fans.

Nkana Football Club are known for having a huge fan base across the country and the Heroes provides an ideal atmosphere and more organized sitting arrangements.

Nkana players had a feel of the pitch ahead of the big clash with no injury concerns for Agrey Chiyangi.

Walter Bwalya will be the key man for Aba Red and hopes to continue his fine scoring form.

Meanwhile, Zanaco are expected to welcome back their leading goal scorer Fashion Sakala who missed the last game due to illness.

Sakala confirmed to Soka25east.com that he is ready to help his team pick up maximum points.

“I am back at work full time now, I will play at the weekend,” said Sakala.
