FIFA Meeting on
MUKWIMA CHILALA@SunZambianThe highly anticipated `FIFA meeting between FAZ and stakeholders will finally take off though not without the controversy which has since become synonymous to the ongoing wrangles in Zambian football.The aggrieved have maintained that they will be represented by their lawyers Lewis Nathan advocates contrary to the letter by FAZ that Damiano Mutale, Patson Lusaka and Ricky Mamfunda will be the attendants to the meeting.Lawyer Gilbert Phiri says that the issue of representation is just a gimmick by FAZ excluding people and not FIFA as their correspondence from the World soccer governing body doesn’t have information that FAZ has been spreading.”We are ready for Thursday. On representation we know that it is FAZ excluding people not FIFA. We have seen correspondence from FIFA and it doesn’t have information FAZ is spreading around. The aggrieved parties have always had lawyers representing them,” Phiri said in response to a press query.“Though tired of the childish antics by FAZ we shall still go ahead with the meeting.”And Phiri expressed shock that soccer administrator Ricky Mamfunda was included on the list of attendants when his issues does not merit FIFA intervention.He notes that the inclusion of Mamfunda was a FAZ gimmickry to exclude soccer icon Kalusha Bwalya from the meeting.The FIFA meeting will be held via video conference from 10:00hours – 12:00 hours (Swiss time) and is expected to be attended by 10 invited participants.
