Tuesday’s FIFA, FAZ and stakeholders e-meeting has been postponed.
FIFA were due to host an online meeting with officials from FAZ, Ministry of Sport, National Sports Council of Zambia and three aggrieved parties of the 2020 FAZ election process.
FAZ spokesperson Sydney Mungala said the three aggrieved members namely Kalusha Bwalya, Damiano Mutale and Patson Lusaka had through their legal representative requested for the meeting to be deferred.
“All the parties including the Honorable Minister of Sports Emmanuel Mulenga, National Sports Council of Zambia (NSCZ) chairperson Patrick Mutimushi and FAZ president Andrew Kamanga were set for the meeting but the aggrieved parties were not available for the engagement,” Mungala said in a statement.
“Following the absence of the aggrieved parties, FIFA Chief Member Veron Mosengo-Omba Associations announced that the meeting had been deferred to a later date.
“FIFA had set Tuesday, September 1, 2020 as the date for the resolution of the FAZ wrangles.
“Notice of the virtual meeting was sent to all parties on Friday August 28, 2020 to enable them provide credentials for the access to the meeting.
“However, the aggrieved parties demanded for more time before they could be ready for the FIFA mediated meeting.
“The meeting was expected to resolve disputes around the contested electoral process.
“FAZ General Secretary Adrian Kashala says FAZ will wait for FIFA to set a fresh date.”
And the Under 15 were about to go to Europe.
Patson, Mwepu brothers, Kangwa brothers, the boys in Sweden, Larry and Cletus .. all are on fire to come and give us some entertaining football, but now FAZ is going to be expelled from FIFA.
