The Zambia national team return home this evening to find some good news awaiting them with the imminent announcement of a big 2-year-package from a local concern to sponsor the squad.

According to sources familiar with the development, Zambian Breweries will on Friday, April 3 sign a 24-month deal with the Football Association of Zambia(Faz) worth US$600,000.00 to be spread over the same period to bankroll Herve Renard’s team.

The development will also mean Zambian Breweries will end their 48-year-old relationship with Faz over sponsorship of the Mosi Cup.

Faz will now be seeking a new sponsor for Zambia’s oldest and biggest knockout cup competition.

The Mosi Cup did not take place last season after Zambian Breweries failed to commit to sponsoring ther 2008 edition of the tournament that began in 1961.

LUSAKA DYNAMOS OVERAWED

Lusaka Dynamos say their young side were a little overawed against Zanaco who crushed them 5-0 home in a Week 3 league game on Saturday at Queensmead Stadium in Lusaka.

Dynamos are currently on a rebuilding process after loaning out the core of its key players to help inject some cash into the Queensmead club.

“We got killed today (Saturday) like I feared before the game that they (Zanaco) have adjusted by playing two games while we have been just training. Our boys froze,” club secretary Madalisto Kamanga said.

However, reinforcements are said to be on the way with Dynamos expected to get some experienced hands in the form of striker Nasha Kaya and midfielder Mwelwa Sakala from Zanaco.

Dynamos hope for a better outing this Saturday when they travel to Mazabuka to face winless and promoted Nakambala Leopards in a Week 4 game who are coached by their ex-trainer Weston Mumba.

The Queensmead club have missed the opening two matches this season due to their part in the Nchanga Rangers demotion saga.

  1. Zambia has a bright future, i just hope they won,t go to sleep and let Rwanda score on our backyard. i know zambia play well when they are playing big names but they underrate teams like Rwanda as a result we end up drawing or lose to small teams.

  2. Go chipolopolo , eye, you make me proud,
    Thanks a lot.
    Guys Job well done, but dont keep your eyes off the ball.

  3. iam suprised that mufulira wanderers,nkana and nchanga rangers are finished..anyway ife ni lusaka city,city yamoto!!!!

  4. Fi Buffaloes fima TEE!! And LT on your soccer league tables, what does “T” stand for? If it stands for “Draw” then the compilor should be my grandmother.

  5. It is encouraging to see players with more goals (4) than games played (3)! I hope this scoring trend will keep up.

    I hope FAZ find sponsors for the Mosi Cup (or whatever its name will turnout to be).
