The match between Black Bulls and Al Masry of Egypt, corresponding to the second round of Group “D” of the CAF Confederation Cup, has had its schedule changed. Initially scheduled for 3:00 PM, the game has been postponed to 9:00 PM on the same day, at the Zimpeto National Stadium in Maputo.
The change was confirmed by Black Bulls' sporting director, Dino Dulá, and is related to security concerns in the capital due to the post-election demonstrations that have been taking place in the city. This measure aims to guarantee the peace and safety of everyone involved, including the players, coaching staff, and fans.
Although the change in schedule has generated some speculation, particularly regarding the possibility of the game being moved to Mbombela, South Africa, official information confirms that the match will be played at the Zimpeto Stadium, as previously planned. CAF has already made it clear that, in the event that the game cannot be played at the venue, it will be annulled and the Mozambican team will be awarded a defeat, in addition to other sanctions.
Black Bulls, who are preparing intensely for this match, held their third training session this morning. The team's preparation plan includes a total of six training sessions, five of which will be at the Tchumene field and one at the Zimpeto Stadium, scheduled for Friday night, with the aim of adapting to the pitch.
This game promises to be crucial for Black Bulls' aspirations in the competition, and the team is focused on securing a good performance against a difficult opponent like Al Masry. Expectations are high among the fans, who are now eagerly awaiting the revised schedule to support the "bulls" in another important international battle.
