Nkana and Mufulira Wanderers clash in a super classico game at Nkoloma Stadium in Lusaka this Sunday, September 27 in a Week 26 fixture.
The game will be the first-ever Faz Division 1 north league match between the two sides to be played in Lusaka.
The match is part of a marketing strategy to tap into the popularity of Zambia’s fallen but most decorated clubs who between them have won 20 league title with Nkana holding the record with 11 triumphs.
Both sides have not had the best of fortunes in the last 10 years with Wanderers relegated in 2002 before returning briefly in 2005 while Nkana went down in 2004 and were promoted for one season in 2008.
The game has an added significance because Nkana and Wanderers are both frontrunners in the promotion chase this season in 1st and 2nd place on 45 and 44 points respectively.
The Kitwe side coached by Fewdays Musonda enjoys an edge over Wanderers whom they beat 1-0 in the first leg on May 1 at Shinde Stadium.
Meanwhile, Wanderers are enjoying some good form after a troubled start to the season that saw them miss the first fortnight of this season due to financial problems.
Coach Allan Kamwanga has been part of Wanderers 12-match good run in which they lots only once since taking over in June.
The demise of the mines has really affected the quality of football in Zambia.
Never in my widest dreams did i think that ‘Mighty’ and ‘Clamper’ could be fighting for spoils in the lower league.
Hopefully,the good old days are back with the rise in Copper price we can hope for more social investment in the Copperbelt and also country wide.
