ZAMBIA'S national male soccer team, Chipolopolo will don the Kappa brand as they face Nigeria in next month’s 2018 World Cup qualifier.
Sources within FAZ have indicated that the association would settle for Kappa as the national team’s kit sponsor.
Chipolopolo have had no kit sponsor since a deal with Nike ended in 2014.
But FAZ general secretary Ponga Liwewe said the association was working hard to ensure that Chipolopolo was in a new kit as they take on the Super Eagles on October 9.
“We are working to make sure Chipolopolo can be dressed in the new kit as they play Nigeria,” said Liwewe who refused to name the kit sponsors.
FAZ have opted to settle for Kappa despite the kit sponsor not bringing in any cash on the table.
It is believed that FAZ would raise money through replica sales.
Earlier, little known Mafro had offered to dress Chipolopolo in a deal worth about US$200,000 for the next two to three years.
Other national teams that Kappa dresses include Burkina Faso, Fiji, Oman and Reunion.
The kit supplier also dresses South African clubs Bloemfontein Celtic, SuperSport United, Amazulu and Bidvest Wits, as well as US Monastirs of Tunisia.
