Lusaka, Zambia, 9 September 2026 – 1xBet Zambia has donated football and refereeing equipment worth more than K120,000 to the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ), strengthening its support for football development and local sporting communities across the country.
The official handover ceremony took place at the FAZ offices in Lusaka and brought together representatives of the Football Association of Zambia, the 1xBet Zambia team and members of the media.
In total, 1xBet Zambia provided more than 1,300 pieces of sporting equipment. The contribution included around 300 footballs, hundreds of training bibs, equipment bags, training cones, whistles, referee flags and referee card sets.
Practical support for Zambian football
Speaking at the handover ceremony, 1xBet Zambia representative Kafupi Muwana highlighted the role football plays in communities across the country and the importance of supporting those who contribute to its development.
“Football brings communities together, creates opportunities for young players and gives thousands of people a reason to train, compete and believe in their potential. We are pleased that this donation can make a practical contribution to the continued development of the game in Zambia,” said Kafupi Muwana.
He added that sustainable football development depends on the combined efforts of sporting associations, players, coaches, referees, administrators, local communities and private-sector partners. For 1xBet Zambia, the handover provides practical resources to support regular training, player preparation and well-organised matches, while helping create better conditions for those who train, coach and officiate across the country.
