Zebras, rollers to play UK side

The match will be played at the National Stadium on July 24. It will be the second fixture played on tour, with a match against Botswana Premier League champions Township Rollers on July 21 at the same venue. The National Stadium has capacity for 21,000 and with City being the first UK team to tour the country, both fixtures are sure to prove extremely popular with locals.

Majority shareholder Steve Lansdown said: “It is very exciting for Bristol City to be the first UK team to visit Botswana and open up links with this football-mad country. “To be honoured with games against their Premier League champions and the national team shows how much they value our visit.
