CAF Bans and Fines Wedson US$5000

Share

CAF have handed Zanaco coach Wedson Nyirenda a heavy fine on top of a four match ban.

Nyirenda has been fined US$ 5000 and is currently serving the second game of his four-match ban.

The Zanaco coach was banned following his first half send-off by Malian referee Osman Sidebe against Tunisian side CS Sfaxien in their Confederation Cup Group B match on September 11 at Nkoloma Stadium.

Zanaco won that match 1-0.

Nyirenda recently said referees in CAF club games this season have conspired against Zanaco both at home and away.

Nyirenda will watch his side take on Group B leaders FUS Rabat of Morocco from the terraces on Saturday in their penultimate Group B match at Nkoloma.

Zanaco are third in Group B on 4 points from 4 games, five points behind leader FUS and three less than second placed Sfaxien.

  1. My friend Mumamba will coach the team to a victory. Go Zanaco and Mumamba. These fines are heavy like # 2 said as if it’s Europe or U.S.A. Lelo pa Zed.

  2. What is FAZ’s stance on this suspension? Have they just accepted it lying down (literally!)? We all know CAF is a mafia of West Africans, and for them ZANACO has gone too far in the competition. Since their teams are failing to knock Zanaco out, they have found another way of doing this. FAZ should stand up for Wedson, petition CAF to reduce the suspension to two games and remove the fine. Kalusha and FAZ, do something honourable for once!!
