2012 Africa Cup of Nations winning goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene (38) has announced his retirement from active football.
South African Premier League Champions, Mamelodi Sundowns, have announced in statement that the decorated goal-minder retires after a 19-year career which saw him win continental titles for both Club and Country.
Mweene made 122 appearances for the Chipolopolo, with his highlight been that of playing a key role in helping Zambia win its first Senior Africa Cup title in 2012.
And Mweene said “after consulting my family and, of course, listening to my body when it tells me it’s tired, I have decided to retire from football,” he told Bolanews in an exclusive interview.
“To the Zambian fans, I really want to thank you for the support you gave me when I was playing for my country. I want to appreciate each and everyone who has supported me through this journey.
“Since childhood, I’ve been where I am because of the many people who supported me. I say thank you”
