Team ya Ziko is indeed on the other level, very well organised and how I wish bigs teams like Power, Nkana and others can be managed like ZESCO.
I MUST COMMEND THE ZESCO UNITED MANAGEMENT AND INDEED THE ATLASMARA MANAGEMENT FOR THE LOVELY AND BEAUTIFUL KIT THAT THEY HAVE JUST UNVEILED.
THIS IS REALLY TOP CLASS QUALITY AND FAR MUCH BETTER THAN THE ONE UNVIELED BY FAZ FOR THE NATIONAL TEAM! THE SO CALLED KoPa JERSEY.
BIG UP ZESCO!!! WE SHALL BUY THE REPLICA……..
Indeed well managed. But need to use their foreign crew more often. We complain on Mweene on bench, even though he is better than Onyango. It shows respect.
Congratulations to ZESCO management- they are well organized and it reflects on the pitch!!
Zesco have a kit sponsor in UMBRO and yet Faz have failed to get one. Smh!
