The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) Executive Committee has proposed a mitigation package for its member clubs arising from the impact of the Covid-19.

During an Executive Committee meeting this morning (Wednesday), FAZ has resolved that it will assess the impact of the Covid-19 on its members and see how they can mitigate the damage.

Members will be expected to give FAZ details of the hardest hit aspects of their operations through a questionnaire that will be circulated.

FAZ has urged members to remain compliant with the guidelines provided by the Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization in the fight against the Covid-19. Member clubs are also advised to observe the labour laws in the wake of Covid-19 which has affected their financial status.

FAZ General Secretary Adrian Kashala has remained optimistic that the Covid-19 threat will be curtailed soon enough to ensure that football returns to the pitch.
“We continue to monitor the situation around the Covid-19 and we are hopeful that football will return to the pitches soon. In the meantime we are urging all our members to play their part in the fight that has plunged the whole world into a health crisis,” Kashala said.

The Football Association of Zambia remains shut in respect of the Covid-19 threat. Kashala urges, “Play Safe, Stay Home and Keep Safe. Or come up with something different to speak to the Covid-19 fight.”
