Nkana Football Club has staged a remarkable turnaround, clawing their way out of the dreaded relegation zone to currently sit in the 12th position with 29 hard-earned points. Their recent surge in form, marked by three victories and one draw in their last four outings, has been nothing short of spectacular. This impressive run has seen them amass a commendable ten points out of a possible twelve, propelling them out of the perilous Red Zone.
The resurgence of the Red Devils can be largely attributed to their astute recruitment of fresh talent, with notable signings making significant contributions on the field. Among these standout performers are defender Chitoshi Chinga and striker Idris Illunga Mbombo, the latter showcasing his prowess by finding the back of the net in their recent showdown against Mufulira Wanderers. The electrifying encounter, dubbed the Mopani Derby, culminated in a thrilling 2-1 victory for Nkana, further solidifying their ascent from the depths of relegation.
Having clinched the coveted MTN Super League title a commendable thirteen times, Nkana's recent struggles have been a far cry from their illustrious past. Their last triumph in 2020 during the 2020/2021 season seemed like a distant memory as they found themselves embroiled in a relegation battle since then.
However, the tide seems to be turning for the Aba Red, as they have shown marked improvement in their performance over the course of the ongoing 2023/2024 MTN Super League season. After languishing in the relegation zone for the entirety of the first round, their resurgence in form has been nothing short of miraculous, much to the delight of their fervent supporters.
In their last four outings, Nkana has showcased their mettle by securing victories against formidable opponents such as Mufulira Wanderers and Trident, with narrow margins of 2-1. Additionally, a hard-fought draw against Forest Rangers and a slender 1-0 triumph over FC MUZA have further bolstered their resurgence.
With their newfound momentum, Nkana appears poised to defy the odds and finish the season outside the relegation zone, a stark contrast to their precarious position in previous seasons where they often scraped by with mere points above the drop. The prospect of a brighter future has reignited hope among their loyal fanbase, who eagerly anticipate witnessing their beloved club's resurgence.
Nkana's next challenge awaits them on the 16th of March, as they square off against Napsa Stars at the Woodlands Stadium in Lusaka. With their spirits high and confidence soaring, the Red Devils are primed to continue their ascent up the league standings, leaving behind the spectre of relegation as they march towards a brighter future.
