WHY TRAIN IN SPAIN WHAT HAS BECOME SO ATTRACTIVE IN SPAIN FOR FAZ TO BE SPENDING SO MUCH MONEY BETTER IN CHINA CLOSE TO KOREA
Well thought of. China or Thailand.
Anyway, sometimes we shouldn’t think of FAZ spending, there might be a sponsor host behind the scene.
There is a sponsor in Spain. Thats why they opted for Spain.
That’s all nice, but we shouldn’t forget to honour our First Republican President with a 10m high statue. Thanks.
I mean Dr. Kenneth David Kaunda bane.
South Africa has statues of Nelson Mandela, Ghana has Kwame Nkhruma’s, Namibia has Sam Nunyoma’s and I believe there are Nyerere statues in Tanzania too. Let’s respect history PaZed
True that China or Thailand would have been better…..
All the best boys! Remember God z with u.
Better yet, soccer is more advanced in Spain. The team could benefit from local clubs and facilities.
How?
It was arranged by Kalusha during the previous FAZ regime so he could get a kickback.
This Kalusha you talked of was campaigning the nationa in SA even when the match was to be played in west/north africa. Stop hero worshiping.
