Zanaco are the 2009 Faz Premier League champions after beating Kabwe Warriors 1-0 away in Kabwe today.
They finished top on the log level on 63 points with 2007 and 2008 champions Zesco United who are runners-up due to a superior goal difference by the bankers.
Striker Makundika Sakala scored the games lone goal in the 25th minute to hand Zanaco their 5th league title in eight years.
Zesco’s 3-0 win over Chambishi, who were demoted today following the defeat, ensures they at least have a chance to play in Africa next year this time in the Confederations Cup.
Nicholas Zulu, Jackson Mwanza and Lottie Phiri were on target for Zesco with goals in the 9th, 32nd and 84th minutes respectively.
Meanwhile, in Division 1 North, Nkana ensured they were promoted back to the top-flight thanks to a 1-0 win over Mufulira Blackpool.
Nkana join Nchanga who secured promotion last week with two games to spare.

Good the children of chipatans are coming up footballwise as i can see the scorers were zulu,mwanza,phiri,sakala e.t.c congrats nice improvement for my mbuyas coz these names were more common for tea and garden boys.
Wedson nyirenda is the man!!! He won the league with Zesco; Simukonda thrived on Nyirenda’s success with Zesco. Now Wed has done it again and should lead Zanaco all the way through the caf championship. Congrats!

Yaba Youn Arrows have performed very badly this season. I however say congrats to Zanaco & Zesco. I hope next year you will perform better in continental games.
That waz cloze for Zanaco! Well done though, Sunset boiz, the Nyirenda’s technical team and the Management. Pliz don’t go viziting in the continental gamez, but aim to do 1better than Zesco. I have the confidence Zesco will not let Zambia down in the second teir of the Afrikan competition. My Brave Rangerz have quickly come back to stay in the Premier Divizion, let’s enjoy the party.
Congrtas Nchanga and Nkana and lets hope you stay in the elite league for ever.

Who is Rothmans footballer of the year, Coach of the year, and when is all stars Vs the Rest?
Zanaco is Zambian and Sensational is Zambia B. well done boys. Though i think we should tweak with the rules to allow a playoff between the top two or three if tied on points to get a clear winner. For now its Party time as the sun is setting. Good to see Nkana back and Brave Rangers they are the pillars of the league in Zed. 2010 will dynamite with the world cup fever just down the road.
