Linafoot: Next place and date of the Mazembe-Lupopo derby
The long-awaited derby between TP Mazembe and Saint Eloi Lupopo, which was initially scheduled to be held in Kalemie, was canceled at the last minute for security reasons. Linafoot organizers are currently looking for a new location to host this iconic match.
Although nothing has been officially confirmed yet, rumors are circulating that the Lushois derby could be moved to Kinshasa, at the Stade des Martyrs de la Pentecost. However, we should note that no information has been communicated to the affected teams at this time.
The FootRdc editorial staff contacted a source close to TP Mazembe, who indicated that no information has been received as to the precise location where the derby will take place. In addition, before any relocation, it is necessary to pay the costs incurred by the club in Kalemie and to finance the expenses linked to this possible relocation.
Congolese football fans are eager to know Linafoot’s official decision on the date and venue of the most anticipated Lubumbashi derby.
Following the cancellation of this match, the two teams left Kalemie and returned to their respective cities.
