The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) Central Province has reasserted its commitment to eradicating violence against referees within the football community in the region. The campaign aimed at addressing some reports of fans harassing referees, emphasizes a zero-tolerance stance on any form of physical confrontation or attacks directed at football officials. Under the theme "Soccer does not fight, we can win without violence," FAZ Central Province aligns itself with global football governing bodies, including FIFA and CAF in condemning assaults on match officials. The message resonates with a call for a collective acknowledgment that referees are human prone to making decisions that may not always be well-received by players, officials and fans. The association has underscored the need for football statutes at all levels to discourage any aggression towards referees who play a vital role in officiating matches and making instantaneous decisions.
