HAVING ONLY ONE CUP COMPETITION IS NOT HELPING ZAMBIAN FOOTBALL

By Mike Mubanga

On one end, we should be excited that the 2015 edition of the Barclays Cup has been launched but on another, we should be ashamed that it's the only cup competition we have in Zambia.

Surely, with all the love that Zambian fans have for football, they are only restricted to watching one cup competition. A really sad development.

While 'efforts' have continued being made on ensuring that another competition is played, there has been nothing concrete coming from Football House.

Therefore, the men and women at the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) should liberate the country by pushing hard for another cup competition. It is not too late.

It should be disappointing and no one person at Football House should be comfortable with this development.

Another cup competition will add value to Zambian football, another cup competition will provide more competition and another cup competition will increase the levels of beautiful game on football.

I think the FAZ councilors have an opportunity to query the current FAZ leadership and those aspiring candidates on what their plans are regarding cup competitions ahead of the 2016 elective AGM.

It is high time that we embrace issue based campaigns, not the taka taka way of soliciting for votes using underhand methods.

All the best to the 2015 Barclays Cup participating teams.
