Who are favorites to win the league in the 2016 season?
definitely put my money on my team..zesco united fc…..we have the coach,talented foreign imports,stadium,best administration and of course the experience to see us bag a third in a row….#zegaForLife
@ aba Yellow!!! I mean Power dynamos football club da only team pa zed abasendapo mandela cup now confederation cup
Power 90
ZANACO of course
Am a Warriors supporter I think Zanaco will be up to the task.
akawawawa wa!!! kalampa is getting it. we are making it number 13.
Thats wats up!!
on this pic am seeing nyambe mulenga ,,,is he ok now ? or he is still recovering from that accident
I’m going with Zesco to make it 3 in a row. As for Power, they remind me of Arsenal. Good football, but always failing to win the league. It would also be nice to see Nkana make a come back. They have really fallen off the map recently.
@positive wen did power last time won the league?ABA Yellow compared na arsenal uwasendelepo league mu 200…
Power a team..bushe those of you who support lusaka teams how do you feel? Coz they come 2nd best all the time.
Mighty Mufulira wanderers this time. Jst like Leicester city in EPL.
how many teams will be managing to travel to western province from southern via Lusaka and vice versa. on the ground this system wont work for me as most teams will fail to fulfill their fixture
Mufulira Blackpoll will put up a good fight. Aims to finish top 6. Come 2017 season we aim for CAF Club Confederation Cup,2018 CAF Club championship
ba yellow kuwaya wayafye kalampa efintu
An over-ambitious yet encouraging statement @mr patrick mwanza. It’ll b nice 2 hv a local ZPL derby in mufkeng am a ndolanian bt a mighty fan.
Zambian football history will be incomplete without mentioning mighty mufulira wanderers and Nkana fc.mpaka litente!!!!
Ama derby yalafula. don’t we ve a road direct from South to West?.
Zambian Premier League is boring and weak. Not interesting at all from stadiums, management, coaches, organization, to type of player and players. Awful stuff.
ABA RED NINEE THIS TIME NO TEAM WILL COME OUR WAY
Mpakalitente.
zescolo
KALAMPAAAAAA!!!!
Kalampa red devils
