TWO local football supporters have been afforded a lifetime opportunity to watch the final match of the 2013 Orange Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa early next month. SPORTS REPORTER
The match will be played at the iconic Soccer City Stadium on February 10.
The two, Beaulan Gadza (Caps United supporter) and Taurai Chamisa (FC Platinum) were selected through a competition that was run by beverages company Delta Corporation.
Gadza and Chamisa were unveiled yesterday and will be expected to fly out of the country on February 9 ahead of the final match.
Chamisa said: “It’s an honour to be given an opportunity to represent the country at such a grand stage. I was not expecting this, but my selection only shows that if you are passionate about doing something and you do it well, you get rewarded. I wish that this competition continues in the future.”
Gadza said: “I’m happy and thankful to the sponsors and the fans for voting for me. I’m happy to represent my country and even though our team is not taking part, I will go and proudly raise our flag high.”
Chamisa and Gadza will meet “superfans” from other countries at the final match.
