Red Arrows Clinch CECAFA Dar Port Kagame Cup
In a historic triumph, Red Arrows have made football history as the first Zambian club to lift the CECAFA Dar Port Kagame Cup. The Airmen secured their place in the record books with a dramatic 10-9 victory on penalties over three-time champions APR FC of Rwanda.
The final, held in Tanzania, was a thrilling contest that ended 1-1 after extra time. The match was ultimately decided by a tense penalty shootout, where Red Arrows emerged victorious, marking a monumental achievement for Zambian football.
This victory adds to a remarkable year for Red Arrows, who have now claimed three trophies in 2024. Their impressive haul includes the MTN Super League, the Absa Cup, and now the prestigious CECAFA Dar Port Kagame Cup.
The Airmen will return to Zambia with $30,000 in prize money, a fitting reward for their exceptional performance throughout the tournament. This win not only underscores the growing strength of Zambian football on the continental stage but also sets a new benchmark for future clubs in the region.
Congratulations to Red Arrows for this landmark achievement, and for further updates on their journey and other football news, stay tuned to Bola Yapa Zed.
