The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has announced that FIFA has completed its fact-finding mission in Zambia, with the envoy now returning to Zurich for a final decision on the Zambian case.
FIFA dispatched Gelson Fernandes, Director of Member Associations, to investigate the incident that led to the cancellation of the FAZ Annual General Meeting (AGM).
FAZ President Andrew Kamanga emphasized that FIFA was displeased with the aborted AGM, a constitutional requirement for football governance. FIFA was particularly concerned about the involvement of non-members who escalated football matters to court.
Part of the chaos created by the aborted AGM is that the 2024-25 budget was not approved by the council which is a big drawback in the management of our game,” he said.
He added that the association will await FIFA’s guidance on the next steps to restore normalcy in Zambian football.
