ZESCO United Football Club has been cleared to resume participation in the Zambian Premier League (ZPL) after its suspension was lifted with immediate effect.
Zesco United was suspended from the Zambian for taking football-related disputes to the public courts of law, violating Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) and FIFA regulations against third-party interference.
This legal action came from a dispute over Zesco’s ABSA Cup qualification.
The ZPL’ decision to lift the suspension comes after both parties agreed to withdraw the court case that had led to the club’s suspension, paving way for a return to normal football operations.
In a statement issued by ZPL Head of Communications Christina Zulu, the league confirmed that the Ndola giants are now free to continue competing.
“Zesco United’s suspension has been lifted with immediate effect following a mutual agreement to withdraw the court matter,” Zulu stated.
Following the development, Zesco United’s week 20 fixture against Green Eagles will go ahead as scheduled, much to the relief of fans.
The suspension had cast uncertainty over the club’s season, but the latest move signals a breakthrough in resolving the impasse between the two sides.
The league body has since expressed optimism that all remaining issues will be handled amicably to ensure the smooth running of the competition.
And football fans will now turn their attention to the much-anticipated clash as Zesco United returns to action.
