FIFA President Gianni Infantino has described the recently rehabilitated David Kaunda (DK) Stadium in Chipata District, Eastern Province as a huge milestone in FIFA’s objective of making football globally accessible.
On an Instagram post, Gianni says the step taken is great for football in Zambia.
He has also expressed his gratitude to the Football Association of Zambia and the Ministry of Youth, Sport and Arts for the work done.
FIFA officially handed over the $300, 000 refurbished Stadium last weekend, which became the first of five projects funded by FIFA under the FIFA Forward 2.0 program.
The funds allocated for each project are largely meant to provide a world class turf while the remainder is for works like the perimeter fence, dressing rooms, ticketing office, and ablution blocks.
Other stadia to be rehabilitated include Kaole in Luapula Province, Independence in North Western, Kasama in Northern Province and an accommodation center in Lusaka.
