Zambians will have an opportunity to watch some CAF club cup group stage action despite no local team qualifying for the league round of this season’s continental campaign.
Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola will be the place to be until April 2 in the 2022/2023 CAF Confederation Cup.
DR Congo club Lupopo will be playing their Group A matches there because their home ground in Lubumbashi failed to meet CAF specifications to host
international competitive games.
Lupopo’s alternative venue in Lubumbashi does meet the grade but is owned by their arch-foes TP Mazembe while Plan C, the alternative venue in faraway Kinshasa at Stade des Martyrs is also not CAF compliant.
The DR Congo’s club’s first home game in Ndola will come as early as this Sunday, February 19.
Lupopo will host South African opponents Marumo Gallants on match-day-two seeking their first points in Group A.
They are currently bottom of Group A after losing 3-0 to second placed USM Alger of Algeria on Sunday in Algiers.
Marumo lead Group A following Sunday’s 4-1 home win
over Al Akhadr of Sudan in Johannesburg.
Meanwhile, Sunday’s fixture will affect the status of Zesco United’s FAZ Super League game against Napsa Stars scheduled for February 18 at Levy because of Marumo and Lupopo‘s pre-match formalities on Saturday.
