Legends match tickets go on sale Tuesday

Advance ticket sales for the much-anticipated international friendly match between Malawi football legends and their Zambian counterparts will start tomorrow in designated outlets.

The match is scheduled for December 28 at Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe.

Football Legends Association (FLA) Board Chairperson Jim Kalua confirmed that the tickets would be available in all the outlets.

“We want to give people ample time to purchase the tickets so that they watch the legends in action. This is a great opportunity for fans to watch and also interact with the legends,” Kalua said.

An advance standard ticket is pegged at K3,000 and K4,000 on match day while an advance VIP ticket is pegged at K15,000 whereas, on match day, it will be sold at K20,000.

A corporate box advance ticket is pegged at K20,000 and at K25,000 on match day.

Kalua said the tickets would be available in outlets—namely Legends office in Chitipi, Acres Gateway Mall, Katoto Filling Station (Mzuzu), CBM Supermarket and Maula Filling Station—for people to ease challenges in accessing them.

FLA engaged Football Association of Malawi (Fam) to facilitate the match through Football Association of Zambia (Faz).
