Due to limited capacity, only 4,000 fans will be allowed entry into the GU Stadium for the inaugural Sunbet Charity Cup on Saturday.

The pre-season clash will see arch-rivals Township Rollers and Gaborone United (GU) reignite their Gaborone Derby rivalry, with kick-off set for 3pm. The derby, known for drawing huge crowds sometimes peaking at 20,000 spectators, has raised concern over the stadium’s ability to host such a turnout.

GU's acting marketing and communications manager, Owe Mmolawa, confirmed at Thursday’s tournament launch that only 4,000 tickets had been printed.
