The SRC will continue to liase with Government. However, in the meantime Nation sport associations are strongly urged to encourage their members to undergo vaccination,particularly those with members participating at a national level,” the statement reads.
The ban is a major blow to local clubs who were participating in the Chibuku Cup as they were using the tournament as preparatory for the resumption of the National Soccer league.
