\"Faz<\/p>\n

Bwalya is recognised as the legitimate president of Faz by Fifa<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

The ongoing crisis in Zambian football has escalated after some clubs, opposed to Kalusha Bwalya’s reign, threatened to form a breakaway league.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Six clubs are reported to be contemplating the move after their quest to remove the president of Football Association of Zambia (Faz) failed on Saturday.<\/p>\n

A rival group headed up by Andrew Kamanga had wanted a vote of no-confidence in Bwalya’s committee during Saturday’s annual general meeting in Kabwe to force elections.<\/p>\n

But it was not successful after the Mazabuka United, who filed the motion, withdrew their action before the event attended by Fifa and Caf representatives.<\/p>\n

Yet there was considerable confusion as Mazabuka tried to verbally re-affirm the motion at Saturday’s meeting, only to be told that they could only do so in writing.<\/p>\n

This prompted the Kamanga-led body to convene a meeting of some clubs to start the process of forming a rival league in the country.<\/p>\n

“We met at another exclusive lodge and we resolved to form a national football league and that is secession from the Football Association of Zambia,” Simata Simatta, the acting general secretary of a breakaway body within Faz told BBC Sport.<\/p>\n

“We have representative clubs from all the provinces of our country and this week they will be having a meeting to officially declare their position.<\/p>\n

“We understand that there are about six clubs in the top flight who are going to engage their sponsors over this move and by Tuesday there should be firm confirmation.”<\/p>\n

Faz was thrown into turmoil in September when four members of its executive committee resigned, citing differences with Bwalya.<\/p>\n

Bwalya, the 1988 African Footballer of the Year, responded by co-opting a number of members on to his committee – a move deemed valid by Fifa.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
