18-Year-Old Zambia Referee Set To Officiate League Games

Zambia’s youngest referee Raphael Mbotela has qualified to officiate Football Association of Zambia FAZ games.

This is after the 18 year old passed the referee’s course he underwent in 2022.


Raphael Mbotela came on the limelight after he was handed a COSAFA invite for the 2021 Under 17 AUSC Region five Games in Lesotho.
At the competition Mbotela officiated the semifinal of the COSAFA U17 girls Match between Botswana and Namibia.

FAZ referees manager Aziph Banda has revealed that Mbotela can now officiate even super league games.

“Depending on how he performs he can officiate the super league even the ABSA games” Banda said.

Mbotela is happy to be a qualified referee adding that this will help him go further in his officiating.
