Zambian Football is like a seesaw…..when the National team is shinning the local club teams are not doing so well. When the local clubs are doing well the National team is not doing so well.
I foresee nkana being pitted against their old foes zamaleki
I would be happy to see our home teams make it to the knockout stage of the CAF considerations Cup.
But can’t wait for the mouth watering fixture The Charity Shield game between The CAF Representatives Zesco United And Nkana FC.
I wish FAZ would increase the number of teams the participate in the Premiership to 20 to increase competition amongst the teams.
Adding on Zed football, The Zambian Football Team has been given an opportunity to qualify for the first ever 24 team AFCON in Egypt. Hope the tickets will be cheap for everyone to purchase, in order to give our boys the support needed for them to score many goals at home as we take on Namibia.
