This was communicated in a letter issued to Lusaka Dynamos secretariat this morning and made available to the media team.
The game was originally scheduled for Heroes Stadium which is the official home of Lusaka Dynamos, but FAZ moved it to Woodlands to accommodate the beaming live of the match on SuperSport Sport 9. In a surprising twist, the football mother body has at the 11th hour moved the match to Sunset Stadium but has not given reasons.
“As Lusaka Dynamos, we wish to apologise to our fans, sponsors and other stakeholders for the inconveniences caused by these changes even though they are beyond out control.
We look forward to seeing many supporters at the game as we push to go towards the top of the league,” read a Football House message to Lusaka Dynamos Media .
Meanwhile, LD has announced charges for the game as K20 for open wing, K50 for grandstand and K150 for VIP. The club maintains its policy of allowing persons with disabilities and children below the age of 13 free entry to its games.
