The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has confirmed match venues and dates for the quarter-finals of the 2026 ABSA Cup, with Lusaka and Kitwe set to stage the last-eight ties.
In a statement issued from Football House on Monday, FAZ announced that the fixtures will be played as double-headers across the weekend of April 18 and 19.
Arthur Davies Stadium in Kitwe will host Saturday’s action, where Chirundu United face ZANACO FC in the early kick-off at 12:30, before Play It Forward take on Red Arrows FC at 15:00.
Attention will then shift to Lusaka on Sunday, with Mufulira Wanderers FC meeting FC MUZA at 12:30 at Nkoloma Stadium. The second fixture will see Power Dynamos FC face Nchanga Rangers FC at 15:00.
FAZ said tickets for the quarter-final matches are already on sale, with prices set at K200 for VIP, K150 for grandstand and K50 for the open wing. Supporters can purchase tickets through the FAZ TechPay platform.
Beyond the on-pitch action, the tournament carries significant financial incentives. The winners of the ABSA Bank Zambia sponsored competition will receive K1,100,000, while the runners-up will take home K450,000.
Individual excellence will also be rewarded, with K25,000 prizes earmarked for the Player of the Tournament, Golden Boot winner and Golden Glove recipient.
Man-of-the-match awards for the best performers in these games will pocket K15,000.
In addition, ABSA Bank Zambia have committed further backing, with logistical support promised to the eventual champions should they go on to represent Zambia in the 2026/27 CAF Confederation Cup.
