Chipolopolo skipper Rainford Kalaba has been named UNICEF ambassador.
The TP Mazembe midfielder received the award last week and this was confirmed by Football House.
Kalaba received the honorary award in his capacity as Zambia national team captain.
The 29 year old former Zesco United player is currently in Tanzania with TP Mazembe on CAF Confederations Cup duty.
On June 16, Zambian football icon Kalusha Bwalya participated in a special high-level football tournament for Permanent Representatives to the United Nations in New York, to promote the role of sports in achieving sustainable development and peace.
Note: ZamFoot has made a correction on Kalaba’s age which is 29 unlike earlier captured. He turns 30 in August.
Geez, Kalaba is still 27 years old?
Ni mistake yaba Zamfoot, Kalaba is older than 27years
Algeria they have named Milovan Rajevac as their new coach. Shame to zambianfootball
Wish u da best comrade kalaba.keep it up.
“Kalaba received the honorary award in his capacity as Zambia national team captain”. Does it mean it passes to whoever is captain? Or this honor is for Kalaba as an individual?
27years old?
I thought Kalaba was said to be 24 at AFCON 2010?????after dropping off the U 23 team in 2009??????
as a zambians we need a new coach from out side the country
