FAZ will not appeal the player ineligibility case they lost against Guinea Bissau.
CAF cleared Guinea Bissau for using Senegalese-born goalkeeper Papa Massa Mbaye on June 4 in a match Zambia lost 3-2 away in Bissau that eliminated Chipolopolo from the 2017 Africa Cup qualifying race.
“Where as an Association are we going to provide alternative evidence? They (CAF) have based the ruling on their records and on what was given to them and then based their judgement on that. So now, we move forward,it is a closed matter,” FAZ general secretary Ponga Liwewe said.
Mbaye qualifies to play for Guinea Bissau through his grand mother who hails from the ex-Portuguese colony.
This current FAZ is full of jokers, surely you were trying to justify Zambian failure to qualify to Afcon 2017 based on this case? or were trying to fool Zambian people after wasting tax payers money that they had a shot of qualifying if they could win this case. There was no need to even petition Ginuea Bissau to CAF over their player. Ba Ponga seating on panel analyzing football you might think the dude has skill in football admin alas kanshi nabo kuwayawayafye. As for Kamanga is just such a waste Faz president we ever had, his poor football admin record is well tracked since he was at kabwe warriors and what makes people think he will manage well at national level really puzzles me.
nothing is working in KAMANGA FAZ, ALL FAILURES WHY NOT PETITION THEM TO LEAVE OFFICE, TIRED OF LOST CASES AND ISSUES
They should know that the first game against Nigeria is their litmus game for the rest of their future. Right now there are no friendlies, no real preparations towards big games coming and you expect good results? Continue dreaming and leave your offices for people who are hungry for results not names in offices. We are watching your administration and plans you are putting to enhance the game in the country. Walelela? Waya! (You lose your grip? You are gone!)
