The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has appointed Presidential Advisor for Finance and Investment, Jito Kayumba, to its Commercial and Marketing Advisory Committee, a move expected to strengthen FAZ’s financial position and broaden revenue streams.

Kayumba joins a diverse team of professionals, including ABSA Bank CEO Mizinga Melu, Lusaka lawyers Lewis Mosho and Milingo Lungu, policy expert Solomon Ngoma, futsal expert and businessman Tehrak Mehta, and corporate communications specialist Katongo Chilufya.

Other members include Bridget Kambobe (marketing and communications expert), Lee Chimbalanga (Kafue Celtic FC proprietor), Marcus Ascott (Lusaka businessman), Moses Mubanga (football administrator and construction industry expert), Brian Siatubi (Konkola Copper Mines Head of Corporate Affairs), Webster Malido (journalist and IBA CEO), and Eugene Phiri (marketing and communications expert).

FAZ Head of Media and Communications Nkweto Tembwe said the committee, constituted under Article 50 of the FAZ Constitution, will serve for 24 months and play a key role in dismantling legacy debts, identifying sustainable revenue opportunities, and bridging financing gaps.

“The committee has been constituted following a resolution of the FAZ Executive Committee and is aligned with FAZ’s strategic objective of enhancing commercial sustainability and promoting investments,” Tembwe stated.

Established as an ad hoc body in line with FIFA provisions, the committee will focus on sponsorship, investments, and marketing initiatives to ensure the long-term growth of football in Zambia.
