NO DATE SET FOR AGM – FAZ
By Tony Nkhoma
The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) says it has not received any information regarding the aborted Annual General Meeting (AGM) from FIFA.
FAZ general secretary Reuben Kamanga says the association is liaising with various key stakeholders regarding the pending congress.
“FAZ has not received any letter from FIFA or any other body yet regarding the AGM. We will duly inform our members and stakeholders as we have done before whenever there is a new development,” Kamanga said.
However, Kamanga said FAZ understands the anxieties over the delayed process is creating among stakeholders but expressed hope that a football solution aligned with statutes will be made soon.
He said FIFA was very clear in their communication at the press briefing in Livingstone that they will conduct their own investigations and guide on the next step.
Kamanga said in the meantime, FAZ is cooperating with FIFA as it draws closer to making their position about the Zambian situation.
The elective AGM in Livingstone on March 29 failed to take off after Mufulira based Damiano Academy and other persons instigated multiple court actions including an injunction.
Following the injunction, the FIFA, CAF and COSAFA delegations addressed the media clearly stating that court actions were against FIFA Statutes.
This is according to a statement issued in Lusaka by FAZ Communications Officer, Sydney Mungala.
