Mighty Mufulira Wanderers, a revered name in Zambian football, are on the brink of a remarkable comeback to the top flight after a three-year absence. Relegated during the truncated 2019/2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the nine-time Super League champions are determined to secure their promotion with a victory in their final game. In a high-stakes clash at the iconic Shinde Stadium, Mufulira Wanderers will host Konkola Blades on Sunday afternoon. Konkola Blades have already secured their promotion to the Super Division, setting the stage for an intense battle as both teams strive to achieve their goals. A win for the Wanderers will guarantee their long-awaited return to the top tier. Patson Kwataime, an instrumental player for Mufulira Wanderers, is eager to contribute to his team's success before shifting his focus to the national team. Kwataime has been named in coach Avram Grant's provisional squad for an upcoming encounter against Ivory Coast, and he aims to secure promotion before joining the national setup. In another crucial match, Mutondo Stars find themselves on the cusp of promotion as well. The emerging team will face Young Buffaloes, and a victory in this encounter would secure their place in the Super League. However, should either Mutondo Stars or Mufulira Wanderers falter, the City of Lusaka stands ready to capitalize and snatch promotion. Meanwhile, the battle to avoid relegation intensifies for Atletico Lusaka and Livingstone Pirates. Both teams must avoid defeat against Kafue Eagles and Kitwe United, respectively, to maintain their National Division status. On the other hand, Aguila Stars face an uphill task as they strive to survive relegation. They must defeat Mpulungu Harbour and hope that either Atletico Lusaka or Livingstone Pirates drop points to stay afloat.
