Lameck Banda demands business class as Govt can only afford economy

👉 The boy from Lusaka’s venda village is forgetting where he is coming from

Italy based winger Lameck Banda has threatened to pull out of this Friday’s Morocco 2025 African Cup of Nations qualifier against Ivory Coast.

The ZamFoot Crew can exclusively review that the Lecce has indicated that he will only make the trip to Abidjan if his ‘ticket is changed from economy to business class.’

While Banda and his handlers want to blame FAZ for the ticket issues, Football House is not in charge.

The Ministry of Youth, Sport and Arts through the ticketing office at cabinet office has issued all tickets for the local and foreign based players.

In accordance with government policy, all the tickets issued are economy class with players preferring to try business class at liberty to upgrade their tickets.

“Yes, things don’t look good at the national team with the coach situation. No physical trainer.

“But Lameck shouldn’t forget where he is coming. If he wants business class, he can upgrade his ticket,” a ZamFoot Crew insider has said

“Next time we will hear that he wants a difference bonus structure.

With Patson Daka and Fashion Sakala missing out, Banda will be Zambia’s main attacking threat.

Zambia plays Ivory Coast on Friday in Bouake before hosting Sierra Leone on Tuesday in Ndola in back to back Group H encounters.
