Nkana get tough Confederation Cup draw

Share

Nkana will face 2013 Confederation Cup semifinalist CA Bizertin in the knockout round of this years tournament.

The Tunisian club is the second successive Northern African club Nkana will face in African club competition this season after Zamalek of Egypt humiliated them 5-0 in the last 16 of the 2014 CAF Champions League.

That defeat handed Nkana one more shot in Africa after they were demoted to the Confederation Cup.

Nkana will host Bizertin in the first leg on April 19 at Nkana Stadium in Kitwe before travelling to Tunisia on April 25.

This will be the two sides first ever meeting.

And winner over both legs will go into the April 29 group stage draws to be held in Cairo.

Meanwhile, Bizertin were eliminated from the 2013 Confederation Cup at the semifinals by eventual winners and compatriots CS Sfaxien 1-0 on aggregate.

  1. Is there more competition by those Nkana? We are tied them.
    If they want to do better,they should start using Kombe and Kangwa, not those Sate Sata, even time he is facing foreigners he wimps like puppy.

    • YOU JUST HAVE TO BEAR IT ! OF COURSE , IF YOU WERE NOT AWARE THAT THE LOSERS AT THAT STAGE WOULD JOIN THE OTHER CUP , THEN YOU ARE NOT A TRUE SOCCER FAN AND MAYBE SHOULD NOT BLOG ABOUT SOCCER !

  2. What is it they have burried at Nkana Stadium. Why not use Levy, its less than 50Ks from Nkana, bigger and much more confortable. This is a national assignment guys if you want national support think beyond Wusakile.

    • As much as it is a national event Nkana has a stadium which has been certified by CAF so why should the match be played at Levy when the rules are simple.

  3. Again ba Kalampa kusebana. I would like to urge those heavy headed Nkana supporters not just shout blindly but rather boo their team as a form of encouragement. Do this and watch results afterwards

    • Well , whether you like it or not , Nkana still have the most supporters in Zambia ! A certain percentage of them might be heavy headed as you say ! Every team has some heavy headed supporters ,but they are few ( the percentage is constant ).
      BUT THERE WILL CERTAINLY BE NO BOOING ! When Nkana was in Div One , they still had the most supporters ! If Nkana go back to Div One , they will still have the most supporters

    • LCD spot on most these bloggers here have no knowledge about ZSL hence their washing of dirty linen. Go Kalampa Go………..

  4. They’ve not buried anything in Nkana It’s just that a lot of suporters are Wusakile residents so moving a game to Levy can discourage a lot of them where the issues of transport and the like comes Dita take note.

  5. Excited and over confident *****s from Wusakile thought they could go to cairo and continue with their fairy tell. Unfortunately, all fairy tells have a sad ending.

  6. we expect the charges to be fair there’s no way we can be buying open wing tickets at K30 why? we’ve never bought tickets for open wing at K30 when Zambia Nation team is playing another country and those pipo who seal drinks should be allowed because last time a lot of fans needed drinks but those things are not found is that not infringing our rights becoz there’s nothing like throwing bottles why shld we be kept like slaves bwana Kambwili help us.
