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.
