The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has ruled against 2019/2020 Champions, Nkana in their case for three points in the game against Young Green Eagles.
FAZ General Secretary Adrian Kashala says Nkana Football Club’s case against Young Green Eagles for the alleged use of an ineligible player during the two sides’ clash was adjudicated upon and closed.
According to a statement from FAZ availed to the ZamFoot Crew, Young Green Eagles applied for a waiver which was granted before the match.
“The case involving Green Eagles goalkeeper Phillip Phiri who was an unused substitute in the game has been closed. Young Green Eagles applied for a waiver as their first-choice goalkeeper was away with the Senior Men’s Football Team while the other goalkeeper available was injured prompting for a special plea that was granted.”
Meanwhile, Kashala says everything is in place for the conclusion of the 2020/2021 season that closes this weekend.
“We are looking forward to the exciting closure of the 2020/2021 season, of course being conscious that we are in a period of National Mourning. The FAZ Eden University National Division One League closes on Saturday while the Super League will end on Sunday with all matches kicking off at the same time. Everything is in place to ensure that everything goes on smoothly,” Kashala said.
Young Green Eagles edged Nkana 3-2 at Khosa Stadium with goals from Damiano Kola, Savior Konkola, and Isaac Ngoma.
