The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) Central Province wishes to announce a new partnership with Reliable Utilities Zambia Limited aimed at supporting football development across all leagues in the province through the supply of official match balls.

The partnership was officially unveiled during the 2025 FAZ Central Province Awards Gala held at Farmers Nest in Kabwe, attended by FAZ officials, club representatives, and members of the corporate community.

Through this collaboration, Reliable Utilities Zambia Limited becomes the official match ball sponsor for FAZ Central Province leagues, covering Division One, Division Two, Division Three, and the Women’s Leagues.

A total of 716 official KOPA match balls have already been purchased and are ready for distribution to clubs across the province. The initiative is part of FAZ Central Province’s continued efforts to promote professionalism, consistency, and quality in local football.

The confirmed distribution plan is as follows:

* Division One: 5 balls per team

* Division Two: 4 balls per team
* Division Three: 3 balls per team
* Women’s District Leagues: 3 balls per team

SUBSIDIZED EXTRA PACKS
Each team can purchase an extra pack of three balls at K350 each (K1,050 per pack). However, the purchase must be made jointly by three teams at once. Replacement balls will be available at K600 each.

Teams wishing to purchase extra balls can do so through the FAZ Central Province offices under this arrangement.
