Solwezi’s Independence Stadium Approved for MTN Super League Matches
The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has given its stamp of approval for Solwezi’s Independence Stadium to host MTN Super League matches, following extensive renovations funded by FIFA. This exciting development opens up new opportunities for football enthusiasts in the region and marks a significant milestone for Trident Football Club, the primary beneficiaries of this initiative.
The renovation project, which began last year and absorbed approximately $300,000 in funding, has transformed Solwezi’s Independence Stadium into a modern sports facility capable of hosting top-tier football matches. The upgrades encompassed various areas, including the pitch, dressing rooms, stands, and other essential infrastructure, ensuring that the stadium meets the required standards for professional football competitions.
Trident FC, buoyed by the approval from FAZ, expressed their delight and gratitude for the long-awaited development. CEO Mvula Mangulenje hailed the approval as a dream come true for the club’s executive committee and loyal fans. The prospect of hosting MTN Super League matches within their province fills the club and its supporters with immense pride and excitement.
To commemorate this significant milestone, Trident FC has announced free entry for their upcoming match against Red Arrows on Saturday, inviting fans to rally behind the team and make Solwezi Independence Stadium a fortress of formidable competition. The gesture reflects the club’s commitment to fostering community engagement and strengthening its bond with local supporters.
Trident FC extends heartfelt gratitude to FIFA, FAZ, and the Regional Association for their invaluable support in making Solwezi Independence Stadium available for football enthusiasts in the North Western Province. The collaboration underscores the collective effort to promote football development and infrastructure across Zambia, with similar projects underway in other regions.
Indeed, Solwezi’s Independence Stadium stands as a testament to the transformative power of sport and the positive impact it can have on communities. As Trident FC prepares to embark on this new chapter in their football journey, they carry the hopes and aspirations of fans across the province, united in their passion for the beautiful game.
