FAZ president says playing in the rainy season presents clubs an opportunity to improve infrastructure
Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) president says playing league games in the rainy season has presented an opportunity to clubs to work on their infrastructure.
In his weekly president’s corner, Andrew Kamanga
says it is regrettable that clubs have not been aggressively responsive in
ensuring that infrastructure is upgraded to match up the level of exposure they
have had playing on the continent.
“Rather, than complain about playing our games in
the rainy season we must take up the challenge as an opportunity to work on our
infrastructure,” Kamanga said.
Kamanga notes that with strict CAF standards for
hosting continental matches, it would be good to be forward looking for clubs
that have targeted CAF participation to work on the football infrastructure.

He adds that some of the challenges around stadia
upgrade do not necessarily require money but only a little effort.

The FAZ president says for every club that dreams of
hosting their CAF matches at their home turf, they will have to upgrade their
infrastructure and maximize the proverbial home ground advantage.

advantage.”
He adds that despite the easiest way out of the
current challenges presented by the rainy season will be reverting back to the
old calendar, it will however be setting the country several steps backwards.
