Nkana are back on the road in the 2014 CAF Confederation Cup with an opening Group B trip to Cairo.
Masauso Mwale and his team will play Al Ahly on May 18 in Cairo where on March 30 they were lost 5-0 to their hosts archrivals Zamalek who eliminated them from the 2014 CAF Champions League.
Nkana will then host Sewe Sport of Cote d’Ivoire in the two sides first ever meeting on May 24 in Kitwe.
The Kitwe side will later make their second trip to Tunisia this year to face 2012 CAF Confederation Cup champions Etoile du Sahel on June 8 before the competition takes a one and a month long break to make way for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Nkana will resume their Group B campaign on July 26 at home when they host Etoile before Al Ahly visit Kitwe on August 8 in their penultimate pool game.
Nkana will then take their first trip to Cote d’Ivoire since 1998 to play face Sewe in Abidjan in both sides final Group B match.
Winner and runner-up will advance to the two-legged semifinals to be played during the weekends of September 19 and September 26.
The two-legged final is scheduled for November 28-30 and December 5-7.
Quite an exposure.
Playing football is a very expensive experience. Imagine Nkana has to fly yet again to Cairo and Tunis and then Abdijan, the cost of air fares , hotels and other logistics which go with it. It will be an experience and exposure for the footballer involved. Go Nkana go and let the good old time roll back.
Most of these expenses are paid by CAF/FIFA i.e air tickets, accommodation etc, so don’t worry, FAZ pays yearly contributions to these bodies and in return we should benefit as such. Go Nkana, Go Kalampa
Go on nkana God is on your side
Just don’t lose away
