FAM announce venues for Carlsberg Cup: Wanderers to play Fish Eagles in Balaka
Be Forward Wanderers will look to defend the Carlsberg Cup title they won last year against Silver Strikers with minnows Fish Eagles.
The Nomads will begin the campaign with a home match against the Mzuzu based side on 19 July 2017 at Balaka Stadium.
The winner in that tie will progress through into the next round and face the winners between Mafco FC and Chitedze Strikers, who will play on the same 19 July at Chitowe Stadium.
Wanderers team manager Steven Madeira said they are eager to face Fish Eagles.
Madeira said their aim is to defend their title.
“We will guard this cup jealously since it is already in our cabinet at Lali-Lubani Road. We are not underrating Fish Eagles becaue cup games are always difficult,” he said as quoted on the club;s website.
Last season, Wanderers beat Silver Strikers in penalties to be crowned champions at Kamuzu Stadium.
