Scottland have opened ticket sales for their CAF Champions League preliminary-round first-leg clash against Eswatini champions Nsingizini Hotspurs at the National Sports Stadium on September 6.
Ordinary tickets are pegged at US$5 while VIP tickets are pegged at US$30 and are now available online.
The match, will be Scottland’s first appearance in the competition after winning the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League title in their debut season.
The club is targeting a strong home turnout for its continental debut, with supporters encouraged to secure their tickets ahead of match day.
The National Sports Stadium was recently cleared to host CAF matches after regaining its Category 3 status, allowing Scottland to stage the fixture in Harare.
Scottland will be looking to build an advantage at home before travelling to Eswatini for the second leg.
Coach Norman Mapeza has cautioned his players against underestimating Nsingizini, who eliminated Simba Bhora from the Champions League last season.
“It’s not going to be easy because Nsingizini Hotspurs are a very good side,” Mapeza said.
Victory over Nsingizini would take Scottland into the second preliminary round, where they could face the winner between Mozambique’s UD Songo and Angola’s Petro Atletico.
