Problem analysis/statement Local games are mostly set all across Zambia, and most of them having the same or different time and date making it hard for fans to watch and keep track of the favorite clubs and player information. According to (Zambia Daily Mail, June 24, 2019), football Fans have been faced with a challenge of choosing which games to watch and which ones not to watch, if the all show at the same day but different locations. While location affects fans, games might be set in different provinces depending on the stadiums picked. For example, games might be on the same date but one is at National Heroes stadium (Lusaka) well another game might be set at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium (Ndola). The transport cost of moving to and from Lusaka to Levy stadium needs not less than k1200 inclusive of toll gates bills and fuel, ZNBC not been able to show all matches been played, like the final ABSA cup game between Zesco United and Zanaco, which recorded a low turnout at the 49,800 capacity levy Mwanawasa Stadium did not please the president. Therefore, more reason for implementing this system to support the life of local

  • CHIPOLOPOLO: a POLITICAL and SOCIAL HISTORY of FOOTBALL (SOCCER) in ZAMBIA, 1940S – 1994
    CHIPOLOPOLO: A POLITICAL AND SOCIAL HISTORY OF FOOTBALL (SOCCER) IN ZAMBIA, 1940s – 1994 By Decius Chipande A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of History-Doctor of Philosophy 2015 ABSTRACT CHIPOLOPOLO: A POLITICAL AND SOCIAL HISTORY OF FOOTBALL (SOCCER) IN ZAMBIA, 1940s-1994 By Decius Chipande This dissertation explores the complex relationships between football, culture, and politics in Zambia, from the Second World War through the aftermath of the first multiparty elections of the postcolonial era. It reconstructs the rise and development of African football clubs, competitions, players, and personalities, and connects the everyday lives of ordinary people to broader shifts in colonial and postcolonial political history. The main primary sources for this study are Zambian government records, local newspapers and magaZines, and doZens of oral intervieWs and informal conversations I recorded in Zambia With former players, administrators, journalists, and fans. The research reveals how football Was used as a tool for social control and propaganda. As the economic heartland of Zambia, the Copperbelt looms large throughout this story. Beginning in the late colonial period, football boomed in this industrial region as miners and other African Wage-earning Workers quickly made the British game their own. They did so not only by acquiring sporting skills, but also by forging new loyalties and identities that nurtured, directly and indirectly, the broader anti-colonial struggle for self-determination. Football took on a nation-building function after independence in 1964. Under President Kenneth Kaunda, a former player and referee, and his UNIP ruling party, the government invested considerable economic and political capital into the Football Association of Zambia, school sport, domestic clubs, and the national team.
