SOCCER – IT will cost Mbabane Swallows supporters E1 000 to accompany the team to Zambia should Zanaco win their game against Gambia Air Force FC tomorrow.

Swallows advanced to the first round of the tournament after winning on the away goal rule against Bantu FC of Lesotho.

The local giants will also start the first round away with the winner between these two sides on Sunday, March 4 while the return leg will be played at the Somhlolo National Stadium on Tuesday March 6.

Interviewed yesterday, Swallows National Supporters Committee (NSC) Secretary Jackson Dlamini said they had started preparations for the trip.

Preparing

“Zanaco won the first leg and now need at least a draw in the second to advance hence we have decided to start preparing for the trip to Zambia. The E1 000 fee will accommodate both accommodation and transport to Zambia,” he said.

He said the travelling supporters would leave on Sunday, March 4 and return on Thursday.

He noted that those interested in being part of the trip can start registering and that the deadline has been set for March 1.

“Supporters can use the same registration points as those used for the Lesotho trip.

“We do urge the supporters to register early so that we can know the number of buses needed for this trip to Zambia. Supporters are also informed that the accommodation secured is more off the hostel set-up,” he said.

Worth noting is that the ‘Beautiful Birds’ supporters filled up over eight buses to accompany the team Lesotho two weeks ago.
