Gallants have been enjoying a good run in the Confed Cup. The club made it to the last eight of the tournament despite their poor season in the DStv Premiership.
They spent most of the season occupying the bottom spot on the league table.
The call for support and giving fre entrance into the stadium comes with the club eager to make it into the semifinals of the continental cup.
Gallants played to a 1-1 draw with Pyramids in the first leg played at the June 30 Stadium in Cairo, Egypt last weekend.
Ranga Chivaviro continued with his fine form for Bahlabane Ba Ntwa. The forward put the away side in the lead in the 55th minute.
Chivaviro, who joined Gallants last year in August, has scored 15 goals for the club in all competitions.
But, the Limpopo based side were unfortunate as they conceded a penalty in additional time, which was put away by Ramadan Sobhi to level the scores.
“BREAKING NEWS! FREE ENTRY TO CAF QUARTER FINALS THIS SUNDAY. Marumo Gallants FC v Pyramids FC,” said the club on Twitter.
Gallants’ great run in the continental cup has now finally transferred into the domestic league. The club has not tasted defeat in the league since their 2-0 loss to Orlando Pirates back in January.
They have managed to climb up the log and they now sit in 13th place with 28 points after 27 games.
But they are not yet out of danger of relegation as they are just three points off last placed Maritzburg United.

The club from Limpopo have three games to the end of the campaign. After their game against Pyramids, they will take on Maritzburg, followed by a clash with Mamelodi Sundowns before taking on Swallows FC in the last game of the season.
