Those intending to watch from the VIP stand will pay 3, 000.00, Covered stand K2, 000.00, MBC while those in MBC stand will pay K1, 000.00.
Mkandawire said the move is aimed at raising extra funds for the two clubs who are yet to receive their respective sponsorship money from Carlsberg Malawi Limited.
“This is a game involving two big teams filled with cream of players. We have not yet received anything from Carlsberg therefore this will be our opportunity to raise something and keep us going” said Mkandawire.
Carlsberg Malawi rescued Bullets FC and Mighty Wanderers offering them a one year temporary contract each with a possibility of extending the contract if the teams meet the condition put forward.
Carlsberg Malawi gave the team’s conditions and achievements to fulfill if they are to win the sponsorship.
Among the conditions is that the teams do better and finish at a good position in the league and make sure they maintain discipline.
