Caps in this Saturday
Caps United of Zimbabwe are expected to arrive on Saturday for a Zambezi Soccer Challenge Cup match against Big Bullets on March 3 at a yet-to-be-announced Lilongwe venue.
Organising committee general secretary Kelvin Moyo confirmed yesterday that a 27-member Caps delegation arrives through Lilongwe where they are expected to tune up against Silver Strikers on March 1.
“They are coming with their business development manager. This is an opportunity for our clubs to learn from him. Caps will also face Bullets in a friendly match on March 4 at Kamuzu Stadium,” said Moyo.
He said 70 percent of the gate revenue from the Kamuzu Stadium match will go towards Bullets’ 2015 CAF Champions League campaign.
Bullets host Fomboni on Saturday in a return leg of the Champions League preliminary round.
Bullets general secretary Harold Fote confirmed the March 3 match, while hinting that the second match’s date was subject to further discussion.
He, however, noted that the tricky part is on whether the two teams would travel from Lilongwe and face each other in Blantyre the following day.
There is a trophy and K3 million (about $6 600) for the winners and K1 million (about $2 270) for the losers.
