Reviving the Glory Days of Schools Football

Under his leadership, the famous "School Boy Internationals" that once produced legendary players will return, ensuring a steady pipeline of talent for the national team.

A Vision for Football Development

Hafwiti's plan for FAZ is built on five key pillars:

With Hafwiti at the helm, Zambia can reclaim its footballing glory, and the next generation of stars will rise from the grassroots once again.
