Sports Minister Chishimba Kambwili has spoken out against increasing incidents of hooliganism in local football.
Kambwili was commenting on the recent abandonment of two Faz Division One North matches due to the attacking of match officials.
Kambwili said government would not allow hooliganism to continue in particular the beating up of match officials.
“Government will not entertain any form of hooliganism in football. I am so disappointed with that behaviour,” he said.
Kambwili called for stiff punishment to be meted out to teams causing trouble during matches.
“We are going to speak to the FAZ to stiffen the law so that any team that is going to be involved in hooliganism is punished,” he stated.
Kambwili added:” I am appealing to the soccer loving family to avoid this kind of behaviour where they beat up their opponents or the referees. It is uncalled for. Football should be a unifying factor.
They follow their minister and its government’s behaviour
