Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) President Andrew Kamanga has clinched a US$100,000 (US$100k) deal between his Association and Toyota Zambia.
Kamanga said his executive was proud to be part of yet another significant milestone which opens more corporate doors for FAZ. He stated that “The approach by my executive has always been to keep the doors open to corporate sponsors and not lean on closed partnerships,” said Kamanga.
He appealed to other corporates to come on board and ensure that they utilized the many opportunities that football and FAZ have to offer.
And Toyota Zambia has handed over a brand new Toyota Landcruiser Prado worth $100,000 (about K2 million) to the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ). The handover was preceded by the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between FAZ President Andrew Kamanga and Toyota Zambia Chief Operating Officer Nenad Predrevac.
Predrevac said Toyota was proud to have found a way to sign the MoU with the FAZ as this signified a start to a successful cooperation. “Football is the most popular sport in Zambia, so for us it is important to be with FAZ that are doing their best for Zambia and that was our main goal to support further development of football in the country,” said Predrevac.
The Kamanga Executive entered office with a promise to rope in more corporate support and instill financial transparency in the running of football affairs in Zambian football.
However, the executive has struggled to deliver a credible senior national team performance, with the Chipolopolo missing appearance at two consecutive Africa cup of nations (AFCON), with the current campaign destined to make a third consecutive time for the senior Chipolopolo side to miss appearance at AFCON.
