THE Total African Cup of Nations (Afcon) Group G qualifier between Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) will be an evening kick-off at the National Sports Stadium on October 16.

The clash will be staged at 7PM, three days after the reverse fixture in Kinshasa on October 13.

In a post on its official Twitter account yesterday, Zifa said the evening kick-off is meant to try and accommodate the majority of supporters that will be at work during the day.

Tickets for the rest of the ground will go for $3, while Bays 15-18 cost $5 and VIP $20.

The Warriors are tied on four points with the DRC after two games, but lead the group due to a superior goal difference.

With two teams from the group qualifying for the Afcon finals to be staged in Cameroon next year, Zimbabwe have all to play for to enhance their chances of making it to the continental show piece for the second time in a row.
