Mufulira Wanderers play their first international club fixture in 18 years when they host Mamelodi Sundowns in a friendly a Arthur Davies Stadium in Kitwe.
Mighty have not faced international opposition since the 1997 CAF Champions League when they were eliminated at the pre-group stage by Zamalek who beat them 1-0 at Shinde to advance 6-2 on aggregate.
Tuesday’s friendly is part of the South African clubs’ three-match series in Zambia during their five-day training camp in the country.
Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane said he is looking forward to playing against one of Zambia’s most decorated side who are second on the league honours list with nine titles.
“I haven’t played against and don’t know much about them but we know the name but haven’t had a chance of watching them although I had an opportunity to watch them once on DSTV,” Mosimane said in Ndola on the eve of the match.
Meanwhile, Sundowns will play Nkana on Wednesday at Nkana Stadium and wrap-up their tour on Thursday against Zesco United at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola.
We are looking forward to this game otherwise we are happy that Mighty has been considered at this level. Go mighty Go!!!!
good exposure for our beloved Mighty!
