FAZ Considers Options For League Matches

The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) is considering the options available for resuming the League in the coming weeks.

Among the possibilities being considered are the winding down of the League through playing matches behind closed doors, or allowing teams to play an equal number of games. 

A third option may be to have teams play the remaining games later in the year, with the 2020/2021 season pushed back until March 2021. 

The group’s general secretary Adrian Kashala has, however, reassured fans that FAZ does not intent to copy other associations by nullifying the league.

Speaking on Joy FM Kashala stated, “We want to have the league decided on the pitch. It is an investment for the clubs and stakeholders so you can’t just say we have cancelled the league.”

FAZ indefinitely suspended league matches as of March 19 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As it stands there are nine remaining fixtures in the Super League, which is sponsored by MTN.
