Nkana Stadium Reopens to the Public
Nkana Stadium Reopens to the Public
After nearly nine months of closure, Nkana Stadium will finally welcome back fans as they host Forest Rangers in a highly anticipated return fixture tomorrow.
The stadium closure stemmed from sanctions imposed by the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) following crowd trouble during last season’s MTN Week 31 Super League match against Power Dynamos.
As a result of the sanctions, Nkana was prohibited from playing any games within a 60 km radius of their home stadium. This significantly impacted the team’s performance, as home games felt like away games without the support of their fans.
After weeks of playing in unfamiliar venues, Nkana was allowed to resume hosting closed-door games in December. They marked this return with a victory against Green Buffaloes, winning 2-1.
With Nkana Stadium now opening its doors to fans once again, there’s optimism that the team’s morale will receive a much-needed boost. Currently positioned in the relegation zone, third from the bottom, Nkana will be looking to turn their fortunes around with the support of their passionate supporters.
The reopening of Nkana Stadium signifies a new chapter for the club, and fans are eager to show their unwavering support as they rally behind their team in their quest for success.
