The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has stated that there will be no free entry at the 2018 Russia World Cup qualifier match between Zambia and Nigeria.
FAZ was reacting to unofficial statements that FAZ Patron His Excellency the President of Zambia Edgar Lungu would buy off the tickets to allow free entry.
“The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) hereby advises Zambia national football team supporters and the public in general that only patrons with valid tickets or credentials will be allowed into the stadium,” a statement from FAZ read.
“Match Organising Committee Members, Security officers and Match Day Ushers will not allow entry into the stadium to individuals or groups without valid tickets or credentials. Please take this as FAZ official notification.”
President Lungu has confirmed that he will travel to Ndola to watch the Chipolopolo and some sections of society expected that he will again buy-off a section of the stadium to allow free entry as was the case when he has gone to watch the Chipolopolo in previous games.
Africans and free things
Campaigns are over, no free entry. Most decent fans stay away when they hear all boys from markets are walking to stadium. Even coaches gets disturbed because they ask tickets sponsors which players they want to watch.
Let’s watch decent football please.
