Football Association of Zambia Andrew Kamanga says the process of the league being governed as an independent entity have began.
Kamanga said a semi-autonomous league from FAZ is in line with most league models around the World.
“It has always been the intention of this executive committee to de-link the League’s from the Football Association of Zambia. This is standard and best-practice worldwide, and Zambia should be no exception,” Kamanga said during a press briefing at Football House in Lusaka on Friday.
“It is our belief that this decision will go a long way towards making our league’s attractive to more sponsorship opportunities, including some that have already been presented to the Association.
“Before the renegotiations of the MTN league sponsorship, we will engage all stakeholders, particularly our members whose input is critical to structuring a deal that meets their needs and the current business environment.
“Further, the league will function in a fully professional manner, with little disturbance or interruption in the programme. This new structure will create a multitude of sponsorship opportunities for corporate partners to associate with the national teams at all levels.
“The Association will focus on managing all national teams as well as provide regulatory oversight in line with the statues and regulations. A working committee will be appointed immediately after the end of the 2017 season to undertake this assignment and provide the implementation timeline.”
ok thats the way to go
You are a brave man.
Don’t do things for the mere fact that everyone is doing them. Present your own logic for doing what you are doing. You don’t go to church because everyone else goes to church. Then you are a mere copycat.
Right now CAF wants to force Zambia and other African countries to adopt the European calendar. Why should we? Our seasons are different. Our sports men need our winter for maximum performance. Now they want us to rest in Europe’ s Summer which is our winter. The
Time for carbon copying others is not now
U gat to think Different..it has to be worth it for the league to be independent n need to determine it is the right way to go not because u want to copy what the world is doing.
