Chipolopolo to use Mafro kit until December

Share

Zambia are set to continue wearing the Mafro kit well into Chipolopolo’s last official game in 2017.

The Football Association of Zambia terminated its contract with the Asian-based sportswear maker in August barely four months into a two-year deal.

This is after Mafro failed to meet its preliminary contractual obligations.

“The termination of the contract is as of December 31, 2017,” a source familiar with the development told LT Sports.

This means Zambia will wear Mafro for the October away 2018 FIFA World Cup Group B qualifier against Nigeria away on October 7 including the teams’ final pool match on November 6 at home against Cameroon.

Meanwhile, the source also confirmed that FAZ was already considering three kit prospects.

“Adidas is a strong prospect but Umbro and Kappa are also interested,” the source revealed.

New Balance is another kit provider FAZ wants to look at.

    • Kekekekeke these PF even soccer jersey are peeling off like the $1milli/km roads?
      And that was just in first half.
      Who gave the tender? If we follow Mafro, we find them at statehouse.

  1. I am in NIGERIA as ADVANCE party for the OCT.7 Game, be INFORMED that u need to keep CHIPOLOPOLO practice and preparations off from the MEDIA, SUPER EAGLES are practicing hard for they know a win or draw for them then a ticket to RUSSIA is booked without regard of final game results. WE should be confident TIZAWINA but please FIRE TENDER hmmm… PIPO NEED TO BE FIRED ITS BEEN LONG WE SINCE ECL FIRED CK, CHILUBANAMA ..Only two we need firing pipo like MUTATI, KALABA ETC LET OTHERS BE FIRED THEN THEY BRING MORE EVIDENCE OF CORRUPTION LIKE WHAT CK IS DOING

  2. Anyoko, Super Eagles players are in all their respective clubs playing good football in Europe. Zambia is a walk over… They are going to be humiliated.

    • Typical low-esteem mentality of thinking playing in Europe makes you better than playing in Africa. Zambia lifted the Afcon at the expense of Ghana and Ivory Coast all with over 22 players in Europe. And guess what, Nigeria failed to even qualify to the Afcon.

    • Even with Algeria you were saying that Zambia will be humiliated. What happened is there to see.
      Continue living in utopia that Nigeria is unbeatable.

    • @5.1…playing in Europe makes you better than playing in Africa… FACT! Europe offers better training facilities and better tutelage; Ni Lesa fye ewalengele ati tu wine ichikombe!/*-

  3. You cannot beat Nigeria with old timers .Look at Mbesuma ,Kalaba .To omit under 20 in the likes of Mwepu ,Sakala means inviting disaster.Nigeria is a new team .Daka is a skipper who needs imput from midfielders.With current midfielders am yet to see co ordination

  4. Yes, there are other ways but playing elsewhere other than Europe will not gain you recognition….FACT! Talented South Americans including Brazilians are leaving their native countries to ply their trade in Europe. Three quarters of the Argentine and Brazil teams comprise players currently employed by European teams.

  5. Ba Kipolopolo and Mafro affair. I am afraid one day the chaps will find themselves without a kit just a few hours before an international game kick off and will end up buying from street botiques in host countries. While the Super Eagles lay in bush for ba Kipolopolo, I still believe in our boyz and the technical bench, with the Patron ECL waving cash in the faces of the guys. The Super Eagles will be shot down and the Kipolopolo shall carry the day. Just wait and see. It does not matter where the Eagles are going to camp. Let us start the preparations now and amp the team outside Zambia. Where is that Pastor Makembo and his band of supporters? Are they ready 2 go and cheer up the Kipolopolo Boyz? Is metal bird going to be hired to ABUJA/LAGOS? If yes whats the fare?

  6. Peter.. Nigeria taught you soccer right there in presence of your fans by beating Chipolopolo 2 goals to 1. You are still talking of Afcon 2012 that you won by luck despite the fact that you failed to advance from group 12months later. Come to Nigeria next month, you are going to be humiliated.

  7. lets watch and pray guys,our God is a God of equal opportunities,who knows after 90 minutes its not God.you might be shocked what happens.dont write out yourselves now its still a long way

  8. Weddingson Nayetu asabaila, don’t change a winning team..WHY? Mwepu, Sakala, Patson, Ng’onga….are firm slicky forwards. They performed wonder don’t leave them in the first line up.
    We shall blame you if you do!
