Kalampa have further announced that they will not sell tickets at the match venue.

The Kitwe giants have been playing their home games at Woodlands Stadium because they were ordered to find a venue 60km from Wusakile by the FAZ Disciplinary Committee back in June.
This follows crowd trouble in the 2-0 defeat to Power Dynamos in the Kitwe derby which saw the match halted for over 15 minutes after a female match official Nancy Kasitu and a police officer were hit by stones, and needed medical treatment.
The derby will be Nkanas last game away from Chilata as they will return to their stadium but without fans for three months.
Tickets for the match have been pegged at K350 for VIP, Grandstand tickets are going at K200 while Open Wing tickets are at K50.
