Zambia FA chief Kalusha delighted over boardroom three points, wants focus on AFCON
Posted On Tuesday, 9th October 2012
Kalusha is delighted with the decision to give them three points from the boardroom
Zambia FA chief Kalusha Bwalya is delighted by FIFA’s decision to award them three free points in the boardroom in their 2014 World Cup qualifier, making Ghana’s chances of qualifying extremely difficult.
Bwalya says Zambia should not get sidetracked by the three points won off Sudan but solely focus on the crucial 2013 Africa Cup qualifier against Uganda.
The Chipolopolo were on Monday awarded three points and a 3-0 result against Sudan after the latter used an ineligible player in their 2014 FIFA World Cup Group D qualifier on June 2 in Khartoum.
The decision from FIFA came even though Zambia did not file the protest within the stipulated time.
Sudan won that match 2-0.
Kalusha told MTNFootball.com that the Football Association of Zambia was delighted with the verdict from FIFA but were still awaiting official communication from Zurich.
“I can confirm that the FIFA Disciplinary Committee have awarded the match to Zambia and a 3-0 score line as reported yesterday. No Official letter yet,” Kalusha, who is also FAZ president, said.
“This week is the most important for Chipolopolo. We can’t mix the two issues.
“The boys know what is at stake, and the boys will be ‘fired up’. It will be important for our team to get a chance to defend our title in South Africa.”
Zambia face Uganda away on October 13 in a 2013 Africa Cup third round, final leg qualifier in Kampala leading 1-0 from the first leg played on September 8 in Ndola.
A draw or win will do for Zambia to qualify to the South African tournament that will run from January 19 to February 10.

Why won’t u be delighted always want easy points
Wouldnt you be delighted aswell, rules are rules you default, you get the penalty, your statement just shows how much you fear Zambia and how slim your chances are to qualify, just take it easy the race is still on. we are all africans no need for animosity.
With 3 free points you didn’t have t work for, you have very good chance of playing in the world cup in Brazil. Let’s see what you can make of it.
Good football administration..
Good for Zambia!!!!! Football has rules…If you cannot follow rules then do not play the game…
So my Ghanain brothers stop calling the decision boardroom points……they are valid as per rules of the game
Very shocking, what do they mean boardroom points? shows clear biasness if you cant tell the story better not publish it.
Obiously yes, they are valid. Why won’t they be since they serve your interest.
Nice headline ghanasoccernet am also delighted u dnt even know i mean it means we hav not conceded any goals n it is highly unlikely for ghana 2 win in sudan so it is a wrap.
“highly unlikely for ghana 2 win in sudan”? haha i laugh at how hilarious your comment is. Just last year, we beat them 2-0 at khartoum, a place you guys could not win. What makes you think Ghana cannot do it again. First of Ghana will win all their matches both home and away against sudan and away against lesotho. You should just worry about sudan coming to your home and Zambia coming to Ghana’s home. It will be a delightful success if Ghana wins against you Zambia and qualifies even with the points that Zambia did not get by playing on the field. I can’t wait to see the Zambian playing shedding tears at Kumasi or Accra. Haha “highly unlikely”
We’ll not come to Kumasi to drop points , am sure we know what is at stake !!!
@Selfmade am here u miss me???????? how come n cant see yo comments are u scared lil puppy ???
Zambia has a lot of job to do, hich is to defend the AFCON title. I feel its pointless to spend time celebrating the 3 points given by FIFA, instead we should concentrate on beating Uganda 2-0 in Kampala and secure qualification simple. Time to move forward…………..As for Ghana, please put the blame on Sudan and stop al this fuss!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nobody is blaming Zambia, you did not do anything wrong. But facts are facts whether you want to accept them or not, that Zambia got 3 free points they did not have work for, thanks to Sudan.
ghanasoccer.net..
like any form of journalism worldwide, you need to uphold certain ethics and remain unbiased in your reporting. You guys have played a huge role in confusing Ghanaian people on this matter.
Football has rules which equally apply both to the complainant and respondent.
tHIS HAS COME AS A RESULT OF A TEAM “CHEATING” BY USING AN ILLIGIBLE PLAYER, and there are consequences to such actions which has resulted in Zambia being awarded the three points and Sudan penalised. These rules were not tailor made to suit Zambia alone, they’ve been there way before the Zambia appeal and they cut accross different teams.
Part of these rules also require Zambia to have appealed within a certain time frame so as to validate the appeal. ZAMBIA APPEALED WITHIN THE REQUIRED APPEAL, if that wasn’t the case, Zambia wasnt going to be awarded the three points and Sudan fined. So please get over your hate and report facts, and not your personal sentiments. Zambia appealed in time and not as you’ve put it…
Why are you so up tight, my African brother loosen up and enjoy your 3 free points courtesy playing football in the boardroom.
Dude…im not uptight in any way..read the post on ghanasoccer.net then go through my response..Im just stating facts and urging this blog not to mislead people by reporting false information or twisting facts…
You can call it Boardroom football or whatever you choose to call it, we really do not care and after all is said and done, we topping the group ahead of you and thats whats important…..
Please be factual in your reporting and state facts as you should. It hurts to hide the truth by giving falsehood so that people can sympathize with you. Had Zambia used an ineligible player were you as Ghana not going to report the wrong to FIFA? Be practical and factual its a long race!!
Call it all names, we are on six points from two games. I thnk the game in Kampala is more crucial than the game we will play in Kumasi. Good wise words Great Kalu, we cant focus on world cup qualifiers this tym. Asante sana Fifa for sticking to the rules. GSN, who told u the complaint was filed late? U were fooled by false reports. Its a bitter pill to swallow bt just swallow it en move on!!!
Zambia should not get too excited! Ghana is still in the running for Brazil 2014; all they need to do is beat Zambia in Accra and go on to beat Sudan both home and away
Ghana please mind your own business, if you want to qualify, Beat the Chipolopolo (Which you cant). If you have a problem please take it up with Sudan they have messed you up. You were okey when Zambia was topping the Group, Now that the Copper bullets are at the TOP you have started panicing. Its okey, try Russia 2018. 2014 is OURS.
You are on our website, and you are telling us to mind our own business, why didn’t you mind your own business by staying put on your websit? We’ll say what we want on our website, don’t read it if it hurts.
@ Africanus..come on pal its also our site ,don’t isolate us now!
This is bullshit. In which world is sudan living, could not even put up a credible defence. Would be very unfair if sudan qualifies, this rule I think needs some amendment especially when the teams involved are more than one, ok if it involved sudan and zambia, but in this instance sudan should have been disqualified from the qualification and all their matches nullified but points won’t go to any team unless the teams involved are two. Sudanese officials have diappointed their nation, something have got to be done.
@ Zambia.. see this son of bantu bitch and a miserable zombian who has not even paste his hiv teeth and has not even taking his hiv drugs calling selfmade for some insults motherfucker!!! See this stupid bloody son of a bantu whore who has endured painful night taking big dick thru his stinking bantu azz calling selfmade for some insults!!! Maybe your mama who was bleed by your drunkard bantu dad is scared motherfucker!!! Haaaaaha!!!! How is your aids infested cousins doing this morning because i know fifa will not allow these bunch of hiv bantus at the worldcup motherfucker!!!! Viva the revolutioncion!!!
We need to beat ghana bth in Khartoum nd Acraa and fight to the last man in Ndola to remain in contention….we messed up bt don’t write us off yet otherwise u’ll bth be shocked!
LOL! You told you Ghanians that we would get these 3 Points, and you insulted us coz we beat you in Ndola.
I have not seen a single Ghanian castigating Sudan. They are the ones that committed a wrong not Zambians. Sudan is key to these qualifiers. All they need to do is beat Ghana in Sudan and the high way is clear for Zambia. Zambia is beating Lesotho home and away.
You know what? sudan may beat Ghana home and away but i promise you one thing: they will feature an unqualified player in both legs and that means 6 points and 6 goals for Ghana.
We will see where that will place Zambia
Instead of remaining sober and thanking GOD for something which should not have been yours, you guys are every where running your mouths by heart.
I tell you Sudan is not finished with the mistakes, they will commit some more with Ghana and lesotho to balance the equation
wishfull thinking or may I say Wishfool thinking
Guys we got work in Kampala, stop wasting time with World Cup penalty missers. After this weekend then we can come and talk. Now where is my girlfriend babe Kwaku, bathroom in a towel, anyway she’s coming… its good to see Ghanaians guys insulting us while am doing their sister here, she’s pretty dark little twat am teaching her some few Zambian words like… fyompa ko! ha ha ha Its good to be King n Champion, she respects that.
JoshGM. There is no woman in Ghana named Kwaku,only male born are called named Kwaku, so if you are doing somebody called Kwaku,well then the whole world knows what you are…. gay like you.
True dat,we got work @Namboole n they also facing the Flames..so lets just chil n await the outcome of these crucial games.Who knows? We might meet again in S.A b4 the Acraa showdown!
@Selfmade Hey hey selfmade ur back it is so good ur welcome.so wats on ur mind.by the way are u stil hurtin????u know tis intresting jst coming here 2 watch u make urself the biggest fool on this forum.it kinda intresting u know kip it up.tis lyk going to the zoo n watch a monkey.hehehehehehe
These bantu fools are still living in their ignorant stone time era!! Like their forefathers thru kaunda to this ill forgotten aids infested
generation are truly comedians of africa!!! Do they think fifa will allow these aids infested football team near the worldcup??? Haaahaa laughing in yoruba!! Fifa knows that these zombies are still living in he bush and are only
Try to think and talk sense. Insulting will not make Ghana win games. What will help Ghana is to teach Gyan how to score penalties.
fuck you selfmade!!
fuck you selfmade!!!
And are only capable of bleeping sheep,goats,dogs,cousins etc producing hiv infested sapiens and since fifa don’t want Africans to do well at the showpiece,they want these zombies to go and disgrace African …. these hiv infested team with some dirty archaic jersey gonna be some sort of comedians for white people!!! I know fifa will punish these hunger looking hiv infested fellas later!!! Fifa just want to reduced africa slot at the worldcup and the only way they can execute this agenda is thru these aids bantu premature midgets and maggots motherfuckers!!!! These hiv bantus and zombians looked like caricatures and sculptures…. big empty heads who small body mother’sfuckers!!! Viva the revolutioncion!!
Self Made It does not matter how much you insult, the fact is that we have topped the group and right now we stand a better chance than you do to be at the world cup, FIFA the ones you say know that we will in the Jungle Just gave us 3 points. Zambia 6; Ghana 3 Sudan 1; Lesotho 0. end of story for 2012, to be continued in 2013.
I guess it would have been okay for Ghana to complain had it been them in this position!
Brother you are here not because you love Ghanaians. You are here because you want to hear what Ghanaians have to say about the 3 free points you didn’t have to work for. What did you expect, that we will say Well done Zambia? I didn’t think you will congratulate Ghana if we get 3 free points, will you? Why are you people challenging nature? It is natural that we will feel cheated, just as much as you would if the situation were reversed. That is not to say Zambia is blamable.
Football has rules which need to be respected. The only group worthy of blame here is the country which contravened these rules, not the country asking for enforcement of the same. We do not expect a pat on the back from Ghana but at the same time we do not expect to be vilified for following rules. Zambia did not set out to get to the World cup through the back door as seems to be the general sentiment here but the set out to compete just like anybody else. As far as we are concerned the battle is still on and we have done no wrong so y’all need to focus on taking care of your business!
@Selfmade Bravo self made guess wat fifa has jst awarded these aids infested people three POINTS 4 Lyk mmmmmmmh ….for free…..n ur stil hurting.ok bt i thot ur the king of of cursing ???so i really need sum laughs n grammatical theatrics are u done??????.by the way u forgot 2 say viva the revolution n wats has happened to u refeeing 2 the army??Ahhhh yesterdey u said selfmade is here n he his mad bring it own.N guess wat am stil bringing it on.VIVA THE REVOLUTION selfmade n the his army are here,so ladies n gentlemen stand up for the clown of the forum…..!!!!!!!!

Agony is Saif Ali scoring and celebrating a goal against Zambia without knowing that actually he was scoring 3 unanswered own goals against his own country Sudan.
No wander when he scored, Kennedy Mweene and Stophila Nsunzu were very happy as they kept on smiling to the amusement of Zambian soccer fans who thought Zambians have sold the game.
What a great secret by the Zambian players. They were playing without showing seriousness.
So Ghanaians chop the legs of Saif Ali for scoring 3 own goals which has disadvantaged you.
@ zambia…. i guess u love monkeys and i know your mum has he aids virus from bleeping a monkey in your village!!!! Please tonite don’t let any monkey bleep your ass oh because i know no better girl want to fuck you because of your small dick coupled with your attractiveness just like you mama motherfucker!!
