Zambian league resumption a chance for Nkana FC to fight for title - Otieno

Nkana FC midfielder Duncan Otieno has welcomed the decision to resume the Zambian top tier.

The league was suspended in March after the Covid-19 outbreak and initially, it was not clear when it would resume. However, President Edgar Lungu gave the green-light for games to resume next month.

"It is good news to us because we have a chance of meeting our objectives," Otieno told Goal on Friday.
