Cheap tickets to watch Sundowns…

The CAF Champions League second qualifying round, first-leg clash between Angolan moneybags Wiliete Sport Clube de Benguela and Mamelodi Sundowns will be played with tickets priced as low as R18.

Wiliete have confirmed that they will play the first leg at the Estádio Nacional da Tundavala in Lubango on October 18 in what will be the biggest match of their short history.

One of only two CAF-approved stadiums

This will be 350km away from their usual base at the Estádio Nacional de Ombaka in Benguela.

If not travelling on a chartered flight, then it will mean after playing against Orlando Pirates (October 10) and Richards Bay FC (October 13) – both games in Durban – they will fly back to Johannesburg, then Luanda, before connecting to Lubango.

There are no direct flights from Durban to any destination in Angola.

Wiliete also played the home leg of their first qualifying round tie against Foresters Mont Fleuri FC of Seychelles at the same venue in southwestern Angola, which is one of only two CAF-approved stadiums in Angola.

The other is the Estadio 11 de Novembro, used by Petro de Luanda and located 550km away in the capital city – Luanda. 

Accessibility for fans

Besides offering massive bonuses for their players for this match, they have set the cheapest entry ticket at 1000 Angolan Kwanza (approx. R18).

Presale of tickets in that category close today (Tuesday – October 6), after having been available since October 1.

The price will then double to 2000 Angolan Kz (approx. R36) with effect from Wednesday until October 12, before tripling to 3000Kz (approx. R54) from October 13-17.

On matchday, the same ticket will cost 5000Kz (approx. R90).

This has been designed to encourage early sales for the match at the 20 000-seater facility.
