FAZ has dismissed Nkana’s complaint against Young Green Eagles over the alleged use of an ineligible player by their rival.
Eagles goalkeeper Phillip Phiri, who was serving a suspension for a red card, was an unused substitute in the 3-2 win over Nkana played on 12th June at Khosa Stadium in Kafue.
The inclusion of Phiri on the line up prompted Nkana to lodge a formal complaint to Football House.
In a media statement released today, FAZ General Secretary Adrian Kashala says Nkana’s case against Young Green Eagles was adjudicated upon and closed.
“Young Green Eagles applied for a waiver as their first-choice goalkeeper was away with the Senior Men’s Football Team while the other goalkeeper available was injured prompting for a special plea that was granted,” Kashala said.
Meanwhile, FAZ has also provisionally banned Young Green Eagles from using Khosa Stadium for their home matches following multiple breaches of the Covid-19 protocols.
Young Eagles will use Choma’s Independent Stadium for their final FAZ Super Division match against Lusaka Dynamos on Sunday.
