FAZ Spokesperson Nkweto Tembwe has announced that Zambia will play an international friendly match against Malawi on May 10.
The development was revealed at a press briefing at Football House on Wednesday.
The match is scheduled for Nkoloma Stadium in Lusaka.
Tembwe said that since the match will not be played on a Fifa sanctioned date only players from the local league will be invited.
The match will be used as preparation for the 2015 Cosafa Cup.

Always playing weak teams. This faz executive is made up of failures. Why Nkoloma stadium if I may ask?
Spot on…hence we never improve!
I think if we are to play against teams like Algeria,Morocco,Ghana,Nigeria and the likes we have to foot the bill which I feel we can not afford and if at all any of the above teams can accept which I feel they can not because they will get nothing if not season ending injuries to their world class players in short the chimwenes and friends are the only ones who will accept beacause their are facing a class above them ,so they think.
MMnnccchiii!!!!
The FAZ budget cannot support matches against bigger teams unless they invite us. We need to figure out a way FAZ can get some funds.
FAZ is not that poor,they can afford to get a strong team once in a while. That shouldn’t be an excuse people.
COSAFA in itself is like a friendly tournament so we are basically playing a friendly to prepare for a friendly, that’s like having a commercial break between infomercials, or putting a peep hole on a glass door……anyway this sort of thing favours Malawi so maybe we can just support the growth of football for our neighbours once in a while.
FAZ tabled a budget for the year 2015/2016, did they make provision in this budget to the government for some high profile friendlies? It’s a lame excuse to say FAZ has no money that’s why we can’t play high profile friendlies. If we want to be in the same realm as the best we need to be playing against the best.
OK. “Well done” FAZ. This gesture to play Malawi, OUR FELLOW MINNOWS, is welcome. Keep it up.
faz has no plan
Nkweto and kalusha you are the most useless administrators we ever had.
Use ba under 23, because as someone has said the COSAFA is a good platform for showcasing our new talent and it is in itself a Friendly, since we are only playing our neighbours.
