Mufulira Wanderers will play all their competitive home games in Kitwe at Nkana Stadium after their Shinde Stadium homeground was shut last month due to crowd trouble.
Faz banned Wanderers from playing their home games at Shinde following a pitch invasion in their 1-1 draw against Kitwe United that led to the abandonment of the game in the 87th minute after the visitors equalized at that juncture.
Wanderers fans later went on rampage damaging United officials cars and team bus before police quelled the violence.
“We are very grateful to the executive committee for Nkana FC for allowing us to use Nkana Stadium in a brotherly way,” Wanderers club secretary Rainford Kalaba senior said in a statement.
“It would have been difficult and at a higher cost finding ourselves playing somewhere else if the Nkana FC executive committee were not accommodative to us.”
9-time league champions and fallen cup specialists Wanderers resume after the end of the 21-day period of national mourning in their quest for promotion this Sunday when they host local rivals Mufulira Blackpool in Kitwe.
The two sides drew 0-0 in the first leg played on April 27 at John Kachofa Stadium in a Faz division 1 north week 7 fixture.
Wanderers are currently occupy the second promotion slot on the Faz division 1 north table on 30 points after 18 matches played with two games in hand.
Forest Rangers lead on 42 points from 20 games played.
Wanderers last played in the top-flight in 2005 and have not been back since then after they bounced back three years following their first ever demotion in 2002.
And in other news, injured Zambia Under-17 defender Jimmy Chilufya has traveled with the squad to Windhoek for the Algeria 2009 Caf Africa Under-17 Cup 1st round, return leg qualifier against Namibia Under-17 this Saturday.
Chilufya suffered a knock on Sunday in the 1st leg that ended 0-0 at Woodlands Stadium and was replaced in the 66th minute by Emmanuel Masuwa.
The team left for Windhoek by road with coach Aggrey Chiyangi keeping faith in the same 18-member side that faced Namibia on Sunday.
Tafyapwa ifyabupuba, ban them for life after all there is no one interested in watching them play.
Mufulira Hooligans! Whats the sense in damaging your own property bane? Elo mu ka pwanye vipe va Nkana Stadium
And is Chilufya going to play or is he justing tagging along for a drive to SA?
Correction – to Windhoek not SA
YANGU -USA wea are you we need results.

Bwafya!!!!!!!!!!Go Zed……Togo can be beaten just as any other national team.Learn a thing or two from SA who just got hammered home by Nigeria.Though they might be two different games,SA was playing from home.Mbesuma and Katongo will share one goal!!
Go Mighty!!
#8 If Zambia beats Togo they will just progress to the next stage where groups will be formed and eventually 4 teams or so will qualify to the world. In short it is still a long way.

Thank you
Ba discover ubupuba why pick on someone who is just blogging, mwanya nechisungu efyo tamwakeshibile. You sufferer or as you put it saferer. Wanya wanya untuntu…HA ha ha. Go princess go
# It will be 5 + 1 teams from Africa since South Africa is a host. Somebody correct me if am wrong. By the way does anybody know if Rainford Kalaba arrived and joined camp
# 17, So i hear, he must be in the country.
Kalaba is in, but umwaiche Clifford is not part of the squad, He has even said he has quit playing for Zed. Bushe uyu wine Renard ni coach uwamano, He is just a physical trainer what can he do to our team, where is Poulsen kanshi?
Mampi alimunasha so he can quit playing for Zed. He is tired
i feel for the boy,all the way 4rom mzansi to warm the bench
the national team shud not be tribalistic,no offence but its a bemba national team
#19. I think U and I feel da same for da Zed football. But with great Galu in charge it will be da same 100 steps backwards.On a lighter note, we will beat TOGO!
#22 thumbs up, you are right. May be it’s the only tribe in Zed.
Players are selected based on merit not tribal< Dont bring politics to footall.Chansa,katongo,musonda, kalaba just to mention a few went to play abroad because of their good performance. Above all the person[coach] incharge of the selection is not BEMBA,but French . So stop day dreaming you tribalists and cheer the team up. The door is wide open for all tribes, but makula fye!
Hosting continent gets extra slot!
Mighty is the team…Fan forever
Fans suck eggs…! (Except me of course) Zambia to beat Togo!
#25 how do u know dat ni makula fye,do u help wit de selection
HAS any 1 cn mbesu play and how gud is he
Togo captain Emmanuel Adebayor has refused to fly to Zambia for Wednesday’s key 2010 World Cup and Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
The striker’s shock decision came after a row erupted between Hawks players and staff ahead of boarding a flight from Lome for the rescheduled match.
Adebayor and his teammates had demanded that the president of the Togo Football Federation (TFF), Tata Avlessi Adaglo, travel with them.
BBC reports that Adebayor has refused to fly with the team to Zambia.. This could make a job a little easier
LATEST- Adebayor not part of Togo team coming to play Zambia…
Ku wina nomba,no excuses!!!!!
Good news about adebayor sheyi. I was one of those doubting mbesuma’s recall 2 the team but after seeing him in training am now convinced he is the man 2 do the job against the togolese!
Soccer Fan No7 You are right Its five plus South Africa. Some teams would have been happier if South Africa had qualified to the next stage because being grouped with them would have meant an easy route to the finals! If for instance they won their group the second team would qualify to the finals!! But well bola ni bola go Zambia.
Well maybe the fact that Adebayor is absent works towards our advantage but i think at the end of the day its up to us, whether adewire comes or not we must also score, mbesuma will want to prove us wrong and he may just shine, as for clifford, i understand his frustration buti te ku fwita, even romario used to sit on the bench, he shudnt have said he will never play
for mbesumo atleast there is chibuku nearby so he may shine because ku mangalande, portugal and turkey shakers was not available
Zmabia has scored through Felix Katongo
Zambia 1 Togo 0
FINISHED ZAMBIA 1 TOGO 0
well done, it means Togo will be left to fight for second place. It is really painful to lose by such small margins. There is no way Swaziland can sort out Togo. Togo has a pedigree to defend and the swazis may receive a mother of all massacres.
it is a good result guys atleast we played a bit better though poor finishing was still evident.
bravo zambia and thanks to mr katongo for giving 2 sons
ZAMBIA striker Collins Mbesuma is still in Luanshya, three days after featuring for the national team in the 1-0 victory over Togo in the 2010 World Cup and Africa Cup qualifuer in Chililabombwe.
Sources revealed yesterday that the burly striker who plays for Mamelodi Sundowns in South Africa was scheduled to leave on Thursday but did not show up at the Ndola International Airport.
