Head Coach Peter Mponda says the first friendly of the team’s Pre-Season preparations will help his side check its standard ahead of the 2024 season.
The Central Bankers host MAFCO FC on Saturday at Silver Stadium in Lilongwe.
Mponda feels playing against MAFCO FC will help to assess the work that has been put in for the past four weeks as the Salima-based side proves to be a good test for his side as in the previous season the visitors managed to reach into two cup final and has a good type of football which looks to be a good opponent to start with.
“We have been on the ground for four weeks now and we feel we now have to gauge ourselves to see where we are. We have been working hard preparing for the season but a match like this one will help us to assess ourselves and see where to work on. At the end of the day, we have our expectations but we are not asking too much from the boys”, said Mponda.
Last season, MAFCO FC played in two cup finals and finished 10th in the TNM Super League.
To watch the match fans will part ways with K2000 to be in the Open Stands and K5000 at the VIP stand.
