FAZ Referees' Committee Chair Resigns Over Corruption

Gladi Lengw Mweeba, the chairman of the referees' committee for the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ), announced her resignation amid allegations of widespread corruption within the country's refereeing system. Mweeba, a former international referee, cited the pervasive level of corruption as "filth" that negatively impacts football officiating in Zambia.

She expressed increasing frustration with the practices within the refereeing department, indicating that the environment no longer reflects the standards and values expected in football administration. Mweeba's resignation is expected to raise fresh concerns regarding government transparency in Zambian football, particularly within the refereeing system, which is responsible for ensuring fair and credible domestic competitions.

Despite the significance of her resignation, the FAZ has not issued an official statement regarding the matter or announced a replacement for the head of the referees' committee.
