Plan to fix Zambia-Lesotho World Cup qualifier exposed, Zambia FA denies
Posted On Friday, 8th March 2013
FIFA boss Sepp Blatter
An alleged plot to outwit Ghana in the 2014 World Cup qualifiers courtesy South African solidarity is being hatched by Zambia and Lesotho, according to rumours in Zambia.
Ghana are in the same group with Lesotho and Zambia as well as Sudan in the qualifiers for the tournament in Brazil as the third round of matches will be played this month.
Claims are that plans are far advanced for regional neighbours to play it soft for Zambia to gain the desired resulted to enable them edge past Ghana to win the group’s sole ticket to the final phase of the qualifiers.
The Zambians know that Lesotho are capable of spoiling their party as the two sides clash in the qualifiers later this month in Maseru.
Keen on keeping their place on top of the group unconfirmed information has it that low level officials in Zambia are trying to pull the regional cards for Lesotho to play it soft against them to give them advantage over Ghana in the qualifiers.
Despite these claims, the Zambian FA officials has vehemently denied that they are taking part in a plot to fix the match between the two countries this month.
The Chipolopolo are in pole position in the group thanks to three boardroom points they won following a protest against Sudan over the fielding of an ineligible player.
The news has spread like wildfire in Zambia with many people in drinking bars also discussing the possibility of a fixed match when they clash with Lesotho.
Meanwhile, FIFA could send special investigators to watch the match if they suspect there will be foul play during the game.

Please let us not start finding possible excuses.We can still easily qualify from this group by winning all our remaining matches convincingly.If and only our tactically inept bench and a disgrace of a management team will put the right measures together.
What do you expect from corrupt Bantu’s!!

Is this not the same Zambia under investigation for playing illegal players found guilty of match fixing in Finland??
what kind of journalism is this that publishes a story without counter-checking the facts? i am afraid if this story is proved to be a pure fabrication Zambia can actually sue. watch this space!
The Bemba and Tonga Bantu criminals running Zambian football have stolen enough!!!
zambian football is dead even if dey bribe da reff dey will loose,i heard dat asshole called katongo has been droped.i jux hope our puppet coach qualifies us to da world cup
Gees!! i can confirm Ghanaians are truly scared of Zambia. what are these insults about? let’s be civil about this, and may the deserving team qualify to the Brazil finals. thank God I am not fool, lol!
Oh please shut the fuck up! Pussies! The Ghana Lesotho match was delayed for 45 minutes or more and Ghana should have lost the points, but didnt we fix that match so that we would not lose the points. Give your arse a break and use your mouth next time what the hell do you expect? You want qualification handed to you on a plate?
john brown you have a pig mouth, you should be eating from fiesies instead of being in this forum
@john eat shit
Qualify honourably like how we finished RSA in 2006 and the world would like u. Dont steal what is not yours.
They have already stolen from Sudan 3 points and 3 goals. Zambia cannot beat Lesotho in Maseru. Sudan struggled and suffered even to draw game, how much more former fake champions?
Sudan will cause a great national mourning when they finally play Zambia at Ndola. I believe Ghana will even qualify before we meet the former fake champions.
If they they fail to win that match it’s over for them. They’ve not been consistent since they won the afcon, so they shouldn’t make the mistake and think they’re already through, Sudan could even draw with them at home. I just hope Dede and Muntari come back to strengthen our squad and I know for certain that Ghana is good at qualifying to tournaments so…… you know the rest.
this story is not farfetched.
in your dreams BOY!
zambia will beat lesotho
zambia will beat lesotho
This is total lies . Give us credible news . Just look at the penalties Ghana received at afcon Zambia never complained. We received penalties each game.lets Zambia alone and lets just build a team.
You got PK’s because you are dangerous. Do you know how many pk’s Messi has received in his career? what about Ronaldo? Penalty are important part of the game just as red-card or a goal in the run of play.
The truth of the matter is that,zambians think that Sudan ll punished them by playing soft against Ghana due to the point deduction against them by fifa and zambia wants to be smart here!! Zambians think erroneously that Sudan ll knocked Ghana out and by the time they come to ksi,the match ll be a mere formality and this is where our crook fa has to be smart too… Sudan is hurt by Zambia and we should capitalize on this and play with their emotions by letting them concentrate only on Zambia for some revenge in ndola and they can do!!! Sudan re the kingmakers in this group not Lesotho because Zambia can beat Lesotho for all we care,we can also go there and beat them but the real threat is the match in khartoum!! Is about time this fa is up and king because Zambia want to make history at the expense of Ghana and after back to back loses to them,it ll be suicidal if they qualified ahead of us using mafia tactics!!! If they qualified,the entire fa should prepared their resignation letters!!! Viva the revolutioncioook
Zambia cannot Lesotho at Maseru. Did you watch the Lesotho V Sudan? Sudan were lucky to run away with a draw. The Zambians could still bribe Lesotho but Sudan will punish them at Ndola. Their game against Ghana in Kumasi might be just a formality, Ghana might have already qualified by then IF we call up the right players.

Future news: ‘GSN In Humiliating U-Turn Over Zambia Match-Fixing Allegations After Lawsuit From Zambia FA’
Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel during times of desperation but this is becoming ridiculous for ghana? Rememder you had that foolish player Derek Boateng lying at a press conference after the game in Ndola that he was assaulted and the ghana team was mistreated while in Zambia. We all know what happened later and this brought shame to Ghana when the truth finally came out. Now you have these new stories coming out. Zambia has beaten Ghana on numerous occasions in our history why should we start match fixing now? And why is a Ghanaian publication the first with the news scoop? This Ghana team is not even as good as previous Ghana teams. Even us Zambians can tell that the Kwesi Nyantankyi led GFA is bringing total embarassment to Ghana football and you should all know this by now. Just look at the altercations with Abedi Pele and his family as evidence
we can never fix a match and we have never.we just work hard developing our local leagues and our players.listern what still makes you think you the best team in this group,we out played you, you can not see that we out played you before and the you are melting at fast rate.
Let’s all b mature n nt use swear words.really th handin of points to zambia after sudan game shud not b a case to talk about, it ws th ideal thing to do.even the ghanaians themselves would have bin happy with th decision had it bin them, let’s b honest to ourselves. Some of these comments are just putin th name of african futbol in ruins, let’s just enjoy the game, course there may be ups n downs, happy teams n sad ones, happy fans n sad ones etc..that’s what makes the game, its futbol, let’s just enjoy th game!!!!
What is sepp blatter doin on ghanasoccernet
We as zambian people should sue these peoples asses!
I never thought had damn-heads in Africa, no even a returd can believe such a shitty story. Are you threatened by the copperbullets or what.
*WTF to all this!*
I am a Lesotho Citizen and hope we can lose that game….- used to like Ghana but after the AFCON semi-final against Burkina Faso, I don’t wish them well …Besides Lesotho will benefit from the Zambian bribe ….:Money is better than 3 points !!hahahahahahahaha!!!
