Faz Says it will Deal with NSCZ Ultimatum

Faz has said it will address 14-day national Sports Council of Zambia (NSCZ) ultimatum to issue an apology over the London fiasco next week.

Faz communications officer Erick Mwanza said in a statement that will address the matter sometime next week.

“The Football Association of Zambia will address the matter of the Sports Council directive for the national football authority, FAZ, to issue an apology over the August (12) 2009 London match Ghana vs. Zambia next week,” Mwanza said.

“In the ended weeks, the Football association of
Zambia has been in contact with the Sports Council through the chairman Mr. Chifumu Banda SC and spokesperson Mr. Smart Mwitwa over the matter.”

On August 12 last year, Zambia played Ghana in a friendly at Brisbane Road but struggled to raise a team after Faz failed to secure visa’s for 10 players.

This forced Faz to scale England at the last minute and drafted three UK-based part-timers to play in the match.

Zambia lost that match 4-1.
