Mighty Mufulira Wanderers are thrilled to return to Shinde Stadium after the FAZ appeals committee reversed a six-match home ban slapped on them for hooliganism.

The committee on Wednesday cut Mighty’s home ban from six to two matches which they have already played at Kafubu Stadium in Luanshya.

Mighty were slapped the ban following a riot during their home game against Zesco United on August 8 in a match the visiting side was leading 1-0 into the 35th minute.

“We are very happy that we will play our games at Shinde. We would like to thank the FAZ appeals committee because ushitasha mwana wa ndoshi,” club secretary Samuel Kalunga said.

Fifth placed Wanderers will return to Shinde this Saturday when they host Green Buffaloes who are just above them at number four on 38 and 40 points respectively from 24 matches with six games left to play.

“At last the people of Mufulira will be treated to our usual game,” Kalunga said.

Wanderers were warned of stiffer penalties should there be a repeat of last months incident at Shinde.

“We don’t want hooliganism therefore we are tightening security at our stadium.We have increased the number of police officers and internal stewards,” Kalunga added.

The nine-time champions were forced to play their games at Kafubu Stadium in Luanshya where they won one and lost one against Power Dynamos and Zanaco respectively.
