Mazabuka based Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) Southern Province Women’s League side FC MUZA Queens and Under-15 boys team received a boost in the current season as the president of the club Mr. Keith Mweemba donated 30 Pairs of Boots, 30 shin gads, and 10 match balls to help continue fostering development in youth and women’s football in the district.
Speaking during the donation, Mr. Mweemba urged the team to continue working hard and he wants to see the girls competing in the Women’s Super League.
Also present at the event were FC MUZA General Secretary and Chief Executive Officer Mr. Joel Kabika and Head Coach Matthews Phiri who also encouraged the girls to take football seriously if they want to develop their career.
Club General Secretary Mr. Joel Kabika challenged the girls to stop associating themselves with bad company as this may affect their Football career
“There is a lot of peer pressure out there so you need to keep yourself safe by staying away from friends who encourage and forces you to do bad things because this will help you to focus on your career, because once you start doing bad things this season won’t even end well for you so we want to look after you like an egg because you are under our care,” Kabika said.
Mr. Kabika further urged the team to respect their parents and coaches if they are to develop and go far in their careers.
“When you are at home, listen to your parents, obey what they tell you and be very active by helping them do the house chores so that even tomorrow they won’t stop you from coming to the ground because they will know that we teach you good values. Listen to the coaches too because now we have planted a seed and we want it to germinate and eventually have a great harvest in your career,” he added
Meanwhile, FC MUZA senior team coach Matthews Phiri is impressed with the performance of the girls and he encouraged them to continue work hard.
“I Am Happy to be here, and it is because of the great performance I have seen from you that has brought us here. Women’s Football is tough now because each team you will face will be strong so you have to continue working hard.”
“FAZ has now introduced Women’s Super League, we are currently on top of the table and I would want you to play in the super league because teams like Zesco and Green Buffaloes will be coming here to play with you so let us continue working hard.”
The former Red Arrows, Nakambala Leopards, Circuit City, and Lusaka City Council coach was also impressed with the performance of goal poacher and speedy winger Finet Ngandu who is also the captain of the side who reminded him of Banda Banda.
“I was really impressed and happy with the number 7 (Finet) she reminded me of Barbra Banda because she has got pace and she is our asset so to everyone just be paying attention to what your coaches tell you,” Phiri concluded
The Elegant Girls who under the tutelage of Coach Nelson Phiri and Coach Ade have maintained a 100% winning record in this season, they have played 6 games winning all of them and scoring a remarkable 17 goals without conceding a goal.
