Zambia will most certainly be wearing new sets of kits when they battle Nigeria next month for a place in the 2018 World Cup after FAZ cancelled an agreement with Asia-based kit sponsors, Mafro.
FAZ said Mafro breached several of the contracts they signed with Zambia four months ago and as such they have no choice but to cancel it.
Zambia will now shop for new kit sponsors and have also disclosed they will seek legal redress for loss of business.
“This decision by FAZ to discontinue the partnership with MAFRO will be followed by a claim for loss of business due to MAFRO’s inability to adhere to the contract and FAZ will be seeking legal redress,” said spokesman Desmond Katongo in a statement.
Nigeria’s Super Eagles host Zambia on October 7 in Uyo in continuation of the qualifying tournament for Russia 2018.
Nigeria top Group B with 10 points from four matches, three points ahead of second-placed Zambia.
