The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) General Secretary Adrian Kashala has confirmed that the Association has written to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to move the second leg of the CHAN final round qualifier against Eswatini to the National Heroes Stadium.
Kashala has pointed out the fact that Lusaka gives a lot of support to the team hence the change. The FAZ GS confirmed that the decision was arrived at after discussions with the technical bench.
“The mission is not Complete we still have a lot of work to do we have ninety (90) more minutes to seal the deal so come the 19th of October we have with the technical bench that they needed the game to be played in Lusaka,” he said.
” obviously because of the support and traditionally we have found winning ways at Heroes Stadium m, so we have already informed CAF about the change of venue, so we should be bringing our game Heroes Stadium here in Lusaka,” he added.
Kashala who was the delegation leader for the trip to was delighted with the narrow win over eSwatini and expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the players.
“Our mission was accomplished after we beat the host by a lone goal overall the players conducted themselves very well by putting in their best to give us the much-needed results, the technical Bench did what they could,” he said.
Zambia beat Eswatini by one goal to zero through an Amity Shamende second-half strike. The Copper Bullets will host eSwatini on the 19th of October 2019 for the last and Final Round.
This is just failed FAZ leadership trying to justify their failures. Who told you Copperbelt is not as vibrant as Lusaka in terms of fan support. You are lying even Copperbelt deserve better. Total leadership failure.
Creating unnecessary acrimony where none exists. Simply say we moved the game for logistical reasons and leave it at that.This is a very childish statement from FAZ. Why antagonize Copperbelt fans like this. Even if that was true, you do not issue such statements as a responsible organization
One reason there is institutional failure in many zambian institutions is economic with the truth. Faz has just called a spade by its name. Just improve your support ba Kopala
FAZ be realistic in your statements, it’s not about fans ,but its babout having stadia and allowing games were they are suppose to be played. Imagin if we had other stadia probably in southern province will you be able to come out with such statements honestly.
Please chipolopolo, don’t spoil my birthday.
