this time we need to win the cup not the upuba.
didn’t FAZ say there will be three teams representing Zambia in the continental club chapionships i.e. 2 in the chapions league and 1 in the confideration cup? i remember this quiet well or may be those were just desparate remarks to calm the storms that rocked Football house intensly last year!
#2 that is true, Green Buffaloes was supposed to be the 3rd team, but those unprincipled soldiers joined in the mob-psychology by boycotting league games. So FAZ couldn’t use them as representatives, which all of us support as a principled decision.
#3 But why didn’t FAZ pick another team say Nkana if the issue waz about the disputes that have rocked the association?
@2, FAz LIED that two teams were supposed to represent the country in champions league yet CAZ said only one team was to represent zed, thats why we have only Zesco and Nchanga
