No stamps for Warriors game
Spectators going to the Brave Warriors match on Sunday are advised not to leave the stadium once they are inside.
The Namibia Football Association (NFA) says people who attend the match between the Brave Warriors and Comoros will not be stamped in order to minimise traffic at the stadium gates.
The decision was based on the chaos usually experienced at the gates during big matches.
The national team will battle it out with the Comoros in the second leg of the African Nations Championship Qualifiers (CHAN) at the Sam Nujoma Stadium on Sunday at 15:00.
“Once you are in you can't go out and we will not be selling tickets on match day to avoid the security problems we have encountered.
“We came up with this decision in order to minimise the movement out of the stadium while other people are entering, given the chaos it creates,” the NFA announced.
The Brave Warriors lost 2-1 against the Islanders last weekend.
A 1-0 score line will be enough for Namibia to secure their first ever CHAN qualification.
A victory would also earn the Namibian team N$2.2 million.
The home team's hopes have suffered a slight setback, with two of their key defensive players suspended.
Riaan Hanamub and Tiberius Lombard will be out of action after picking up suspensions during their last trip to the Comoros.
The Brave Warriors coach, Ricardo Mannetti, told the media this week that he was confident that the team would do what it takes to turn the tie around.
Mannetti said he was confident that the replacements would be up to the task, given the importance of the encounter.
Match tickets are on sale for N$30 at Computicket at Shoprite and Checkers countrywide.
