Power Dynamos Football Club has become the first Zambian Club to be admitted into the African Club Association (ACA), an association that brings together some of Africa’s most prestigious and successful football clubs.
Power Dynamos Football Club President Bennie Simukoko says the inclusion of the Zambian Premier League defending Champions club in ACA places the Zambian giants among an elite group of clubs that have committed to shaping the future of the game on the continent.
In a statement, Simukoko believes that the association will promote unity and prove that African clubs are stronger when they work together by sharing experiences and advocating for the growth and professionalisation of the sport.
Simukoko added that the club’s membership in the ACA is expected to enhance its continental profile and provide opportunities for greater engagement with leading clubs across Africa.
The clubs that have so far joined the ACA include African Stars of Namibia; Al Hilal Sports Club of Sudan, AS Maniema Union and Saint Éloi Lupopo of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Atlético Petróleos de Luanda of Angola, Azam Sport Club and Young Africans of Tanzania.
Others include Gaborone United of Botswana, South African powerhouses Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns and Wydad Athletic Club of Morocco among others.
Meanwhile, Women Super League and the Men’s National League will resume action on Saturday, 10th, January, 2026 after the leagues went on recess.
The Zambia Premier League (ZPL) says Women’s National League and the MTN Super League are set to kick off a week later, on Saturday, 17th of January, 2026.
ZPL however, says ZESCO United and Power Dynamos will return to competitive action earlier than other MTN Super League teams due to their CAF commitments.
The two clubs will play their Week 15 fixtures on Saturday, the 10th of January, followed by Week 16 matches on Saturday, the 17th of January, 2026.
The Zambian Premier League has since urged all clubs to ensure they complete their preparations ahead of their respective resumption dates as the league gears up for an exciting continuation of the season.
What s the association for? Another CAF? Breakaway?
