Nkana brace for KCCA showdown

Share

Nkana deputy coach Zeddy Saileti has declared the Wusakile side ready to face Uganda’s Kampala City Council Authority (KCCA) in Saturday’s crucial 2014 CAF Champions League away match at Nelson Mandela Stadium.

The two teams are tied 2-2 from the first round, first leg tie played at Arthur Davies Stadium in Kitwe a week ago.

Saileti says Nkana players are in high spirits as set their eyes on Saturday’s battle in Kampala.

“First and foremost, the morale in camp is high, the boys knows what they want, it is nothing but a win,” he said.

“We trained in the main pitch for tomorrow’s game (Nelson Mandela stadium) it”s a bit hard and big but that won”t draw us back we have experienced that kind of a pitch in Zambia,” Saileti said.

The ex-Zambia striker has since appealed for support from the Wusakile faithful.

“I am just appealing to all our fans to rally behind the team,nothing is impossible in the presence of God, we believe in our selves,” Saileti added.

Nkana reached the first round of this year’s CAF Champions League after eliminating Mbabane Swallows of Swaziland 5-2 over two legs last month.

  2. I didn’t know that some soccer fields are bigger than others, I thought they were all 100m x 50 m? Or did Saileti was implying the “stadium”, is bigger than Nkana’s Chilata?

  3. @Nostradamus the recommended standard size of an international football pitch is 64-75m by 100-110m. This means some pitches are bigger than others and this is allowed by FIFA. In 2008 it was strongly suggested that all international pitches be brought to 105 by 68 m. This motion was suspended and it has been so ever since. I hope that helps.
