FAZ PONDERS MOVING BIG GAMES FROM COPPERBELT

Faz has threatened to stop staging international and cup games on the Copperbelt following poor crowd attendances during recent matches there.

Faz general secretary George Kasengele said on Monday that Football House was concerned about the poor spectator attendances over the last 30 days in two high-profile matches staged at Nchanga Stadium.

A modest crowd watched Zambia Under-20’s 1-0 home defeat against Egypt on October 11 in a 2009 Africa Youth Cup 2nd round, return leg qualifier.

Another poor crowd characterized last Saturdays BP Top 8 final match there between Lusaka Dynamos and Zesco United.

Kasengele said while it was Faz and the stakeholders duty to help raise the standards of the game, the onus was also on the fans to rekindle some passion of the old blood and thunder clashes.

TAMANGA DEMOTED

The Great “Tamanga” Zamsure has been demoted from the Faz league.

Zamsure will next season be campaigning in the Lusaka league football amateur league.

Bottom placed Zamsure’s 2-1 home defeat to 8th positioned Sable Bulls coupled with 5th from bottom TP Rangers’ 2-1 home win over top-five side Amakumbi Star on Sunday confined Tamanga to the amateur ranks.

Zamsure, on 21 points from 28 games with two more matches left to play, cannot catch TP who rose from 27 to 30 points on the table.

Tamanga were demoted from the Faz Premier League in 2002 to division 1 south before dropping at division 2 south in 2006.

  1. Well, the death of Tamanga Zamsure. Chibamba Kanyama must be a happy man today for putting Zamnsure where he wanted it to be forgetting that the large chunk of ZSIC income comes from Govt which is bankrolled by tax payers. Shame on you all at ZSIC. I ask all Zambians to take their business to other insurance companies small as it may be. No need to to support these guys who lack any form of social responsibility

  2. Chabipa ba tamanga, u gave us good memories back in the days. Zsic should be guilty now, they’ve wasted a once great team!

  3. Chibamba Kanyama and his team killed Zamsure. The chap is now at Zambia Breweries and Mosi Cup is NO MORE!!! HA HA HA

  4. Someone to revamp football in zambia pls. We want to come back to our home football and not foreign football. chaba shani kanshi?

  5. LT can you please dig deeper and give us some information regarding the new ZAMBIAN PASSPORT? Some of us in diaspora are going to be in deep trouble when our passports expire because it is taking too long (more than 4 months) to get our passports renewed, It is not possible to get a visa without a valid passport!! Can you please check with the passport office in Lusaka and find out what’s happening there?

  6. It’s relly sad story to read about Tamanga Boys playing in the amateur league.But for this one, Chibamba Chinyama is to blame,the chap once wrote in his weekly column that he cannot work for companies that produces products which influences character of individuals.I wonder what he is doing at Zambian Breweries.Let him not kill football any further by withdrawing MOSI CUP.The chap has no morals whatever,he keeps on braging about his education and yet he can’t even upgrade it to PHD.

  7. LT yes find out for us in foreign waters what happens when the passports expire , because some of us are in countries which do not have a Zambian Embassy.How do we renew them?
    cheers

    p.s sorry for going out of topic

  8. i’m very suprised why faz is only worried about the attendance at international marches when even our own local games the attendance is pathetic. no wonder most clubs cannot raise money to mainten their grounds or even paying players on time. faz should realise that football is no longer a social aspect of our daily life. football is real business and if well managed it is a big employer in the economy . In europe stadiums are always full with spectators even in south africa – cant we learn something from them instead of carrying of moving matches from one point to the other . even if the games were moved to lusaka the attendance will be the same or worse – find the answer as to why peop
