FAZ Congratulates Green Buffaloes Women

The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has congratulated the Green Buffaloes Women’s Football Club (GBWFC) for winning the Hollywoodbets Cosafa Champions League over the weekend.

Their win came after beating defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns 6-5 on post-match penalties after a 0-0 result at full time.

‘’On behalf of the executive committee and the entire football family, I wish to Congratulate Green Buffaloes Women’s Football Club for lifting the Cosafa Champions League crown. It is a continuation of the winning trajectory that the women’s game is on. Congratulations to the team and technical staff and everyone around the team that have made this achievement possible. We know that this victory is only the first step to be among the elite of the continental women’s game,’’ FAZ President Andrew Kamanga said.

In his congratulations to GBWFC, Kamanga noted that the team contributes a number of players to a variety of national teams and has brought honour to the country.

Kamanga also demonstrated his enthusiasm for sponsorship of women’s football during his congratulations.

“The next step is to ensure that this success helps open doors for sponsorship for the women’s game. Our women super league that is in its infancy desperately needs sponsorship to fully elevate it to a strong force,” he said.
