FAZ ban Napsa Stars Coach Perry Mutapa over match-fixing claims
The Football Association of Zambia has suspended Napsa Stars FC head coach Perry Mutapa on the grounds of matching fixing allegations.
Perry Mutapa was surprisingly missing on the technical bench but the Napsa stars CEO, Ponga Liwewe clarified that the coach couldn’t sit on the technical bench because the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) disciplinary committee handed him a three match ban over a Match-fixing claim he made against MUZA F.C last season when the two teams met in the National Division One League.
According to the Zambia Daily mail Sports, Napsa stars were already notified by FAZ last week about the ban, this comes five months after MUZA F.C lodged a complaint with FAZ against comments made on match fixing by Mutapa.
In a letter dated February 28, 2022, addressed to FAZ and copied to both referees and league managers, MUZA F.C General Secretary Joel Kabika said the club was requesting the soccer governing body to investigate the allegations.
In the recorded Video, Mutapa after a 2-1 defeat accused match officials of being biased against visiting teams.
” Perry Mutapa had a disciplinary hearing and the committee ruled that he will not sit on the technical bench for three matches, so he is serving that ban.” Liwewe was quoted by the Zambia Daily Mail.
Mutapa is also expected to miss Saturday’s game against Power Dynamos in Kitwe and the week six fixture against MUZA F.C in Lusaka on September 28th.
