All is set for the Warriors versus Brave Warriors CHAN second leg qualifier penciled this Sunday 23 July at National Sports Stadium as Zifa announces the gate charges for the match.
In a bid to lure fans to rally behind the Warriors who are smarting from a 1-0 defeat at the hands of the Brave Warriors last week, the local football governing board has revealed affordable gate charges.
Zifa official website reported that the cheapest ticket is pegged at $3 for the rest of the ground, $5 for bays 15-18, and $20 for a seat in the VIP section.
Zifa spokesperson, Xolisani Gwesela, said it is vital that fans come out in their numbers and cheer the Warriors to victory.
“We are calling upon all football lovers nationwide to come and cheer the Warriors to victory on Sunday.
“We have never failed to qualify for a CHAN tournament, and with the support from the fans, we believe we will progress to the next round.
“So, we appeal to everyone to spare an afternoon and rally behind the Warriors on Sunday,” Gwesela told ZIFA’s official website, www.zifa.org.zw.
Speaking on the importance of the tournament exclusively played by locally based players, the ZIFA spokesperson, who is also the Competitions Manager, had the following to say.
“We need them, the players need them and Zimbabwe as a whole needs the ‘twelfth man’ to urge the team on,” he added.
“This is an important match for the local players because it shows the strides taken in the development of local football.
Zimbabwe lost the reverse fixture 1 nil on 16 July, leaving the Warriors in need of a victory in the second leg.
Only a two-goal margin victory will secure Zimbabwe’s path to the third and final qualifying round.
