The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has sanctioned the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) for breach of security standards and also pitch invasion by fans during the October 9, 2024 Group G Africa Cup of Nations qualifier between the Chipolopolo and Leone Stars.
“CAF Disciplinary Board decides: To impose on the Football Association of Zambia a fine of USD 20,000 for pitch invasion and failure to maintain adequate security measures during the match,” FAZ General Secretary Reuben Kamanga quotes correspondence from CAF.
“USD 10,000 of the aforementioned fine is suspended provided that the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) is not found guilty of a similar incident for a period of twelve (12) months. If the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) commits a similar infraction during this period, the USD 10,000 suspended fine will be automatically imposed, notwithstanding other sanctions that the CAF Disciplinary Board may impose.”
The CAF note further reads, “The fine is to be paid within 60 days of notification of the present decision.”
