World football governing body FIFA has dispatched a delegation to observe the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) elective Annual General Meeting (AGM) set for Saturday in Livingstone.
Leading the FIFA team is Deputy Chief Member Associations Officer Gelson Fernandes, who is joined by FIFA Senior Member Associations’ Governance Manager Ahmed Harraz.
The duo will observe proceedings as part of FIFA’s commitment to ensuring transparent and well-governed electoral processes within its member associations.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has also sent high-level representatives, with Director of the Member Association Division Sarah Mukuna and Director of Legal Affairs Felix Majani in attendance.
At the regional level, the Council of Southern Africa Football Associations (COSAFA) has deployed its Executive Director Sue Destombes and COSAFA Vice President and Chairman of Competitions Timothy Shongwe, who arrived in Zambia on Friday afternoon.
The AGM follows a successful completion of FAZ’s provincial elective assemblies across all ten provinces, where councilors voted for their provincial leadership for the 2025-2029 term.
The elected provincial chairpersons automatically secure a seat on the FAZ National Executive Committee, while the other four elected officials from each province will be among the voting delegates at Saturday’s national AGM.
