Mighty Mufulira Wanderers return to Shinde

Mufulira Wanderers FC and their fans will be excited to about the news from Football House after the Football Association of Zambia Appeals Committee set aside the order of the Disciplinary Committee against Mufulira Wanderers Football Club, to play their home games, at least 60 kilometers away from Mufulira.

Judge Martin Musaluke (Appeals Committee Chairperson) –

“We therefore set aside the order of the FAZ Disciplinary Committee against Mufulira Wanderers to play its next six (6) home games away from home. We instead reduce this to (2) two games. We also take cognizance of the fact that Mufulira Wanderers has already played two home games away from home, therefore, the punishment has already been saved. Mufulira Wanderers Football Club is henceforth, allowed to play its remaining scheduled home games at Shinde Stadium in Mufulira.”

“Mufulira Wanderers and its supporters are severely warned not to engage themselves in barbaric imprudent and out-dated ways of expressing their disapproval of Referees’ decisions no matter how genuine .Football Clubs and their supporters in the country at all levels are encouraged to embrace the philosophy of fair play which includes non-violent conduct, before, during and after football matches” concludes Judge Musaluke’s verdict.

In August this year, Mufulira Wanderers were fined K5000 by the Disciplinary Committee following the abandonment of their match against Zesco United. The Disciplinary Committee also fined the two Assistant Coaches for Mufulira Wanderers and further directed that the team plays all its remaining six home games away from Shinde Stadium. However Wanderers only appealed against the decision of playing home games away from Shinde Stadium.
