Coronavirus: FAZ ends Zambian Super League, to declare champion

The competition restarted in mid-July despite Forest Rangers, Zesco United, Buildcon and Napsa Stars announcing varying numbers of infections

Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has moved to cancel the Super League after less than a month of action since its July 18 resumption.

Following an Executive Committee meeting held on Thursday, the federation decided to bring the competition to a premature end following an increase of coronavirus infections among teams’ officials and players.

Forest Rangers were the first team to announce that a total of 28 members tested Covid-19 positive before their first match.
