The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has announced that local football matches will resume on 12 November 2014 – just a day after the 14 days of national mourning ends.
The National Sports Council of Zambia has suspended all sports activities in the country owing to the ongoing National Mourning in honour of late President Michael Sata who died last Tuesday in London after an illness.
In a statement issued Saturday morning, FAZ spokesperson Nkweto Tembwe said rescheduled matches in all FAZ-organised leagues which were set for last Wednesday will now take place on 12th November.
“FAZ wishes to advise that rescheduled matches which should have been played either on Wednesday 29th or 30th November will now be played on Wednesday 12th November 2014,” Tembwe said.
“League matches which were scheduled to be played either on 1st or 2nd November will now be played on Saturday 15th November 2014,” he said.
FAZ organised leagues are expected to end on 22 November 2014.

Tormented in the Afterlife, but Not Forever
IS zambia still going ahead with AFRICA qualifiers considering that the MAN who brought/won AFCON 2012 is gone? The best way to honour HIM is not to continue with AFCON until PF leaves POWER IN 2021
This is the reason International TV Sports companies can NEVER take us seriously with TV rights and keep to schedule…how do you close down for almost 2 weeks; why can’t you commemorate the departed with a minute of silence at the start of game and wear black arm bands.
Death is part of life everyone is going to die at some point!!
Iwe sunday special, siuziba kuti izankalako mailo? Chifukwa lelo ni saturday.
Mailo Joel aza pemphelesa, basi.
Zambia will be playing the Mambas of Mozambique away in Maputo on the 15th and NSCZ says all sporting activities will resume on the 12th because of mourning, what nonsense! Allow the boys to start preparations NOW. That’s a fifa calendar date mind you.
