ZANACO eye PFL promotion

ZANACO Futsal Club coach Wilson Katenge is confident his side will win promotion to the Premier Futsal League (PFL).

Katenge said the “Young Bankers” who dominate the PFL division one league with 34-points have had an impressive run in the first round where they have been unbeaten.

Katenge said ZANACO, who also compete in the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) provincial league will win promotion despite facing stiff competition from Pioneer Avengers, DS Academy, Lilanda Bullets and BS Stars who are all in the top five bracket on the log.

Katenge said after going unbeaten in the first 12 league games, the team’s target is to win promotion to the top flight futsal league to compete with elite clubs.

“It was our first time to play futsal but the boys have gelled very fast and the first round has been okay though there is a lot of competition and it is helping us with our fitness levels.

“When we started we just thought of competing because it was our first time but as we are progressing we have realised we can win promotion and play in the Super Division,” Katenge said.

He said ZANACO has managed to be competitive in both the PFL Division one league and the FAZ provincial league because of the availability of a lot of talented players at Young Zanaco FC.

ZANACO enjoyed a 6-0 walk over win over DS Academy over the weekend to move to 34 points, three points ahead of Pioneer Avengers who defeated Veterans in their last league match.

Pioneer Avengers came from two nil down to beat Veterans 3-2 in a tough encounter. Veterans were leading two nil at half time, Pioneer Avengers won 15-1 in week One.

Meanwhile, Blue Bombers suffered a 2-9 defeat to Bil FC as Mthunzi FC recorded their first win, beating Tamanga Juldan 7-5.

Christian Academy started the second half of the season on a high after beating Efford Chabala 5-3. Efford Chabala won 6-5 when they played each other in week One.
