The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has given the Zambian Premier League (ZPL) and broadcaster TopStar a 72-hour ultimatum to resolve the ongoing MTN Super League broadcast blackout.
FAZ President Keith Mweemba warned that legal action may be taken if the matter is not urgently addressed. He made the remarks yesterday when he opened the Strategic Plan Working Group Workshop at Golden Peacock Hotel in Lusaka.
Mr. Mweemba expressed concern that no Super League match has been televised since November 2025, despite a five-year broadcast deal worth 1 million US dollars per season. He insisted that the issue must be resolved without delay.
He further revealed that FAZ could explore partnerships with other broadcasters, including SuperSport and Azam Media, following recent amendments to laws removing monopoly and exclusivity clauses.
Meanwhile, soccer analyst Yotham Mwanza described the situation as unfortunate and urged the ZPL and TopStar to address the issue. Zambia Sports Fans Association Patron Peter Makembo also called for urgent round-table discussions between FAZ and the parties involved.
