In a thrilling finale on Sunday, Red Arrows Football Club clinched the CECAFA Dar Port Kagame Cup 2024 title after defeating three-time champions APR FC of Rwanda in a nail-biting penalty shootout, winning 10-9. The match, held in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, ended in a stalemate after extra time, but the Zambian side held their nerve in the penalty decider.
This victory marks a historic treble for Red Arrows in 2024. Earlier this year, they secured the MTN Super League title and lifted the Absa Cup. The CECAFA Kagame Cup win solidifies their dominance in the region, becoming the first Zambian team to triumph in this prestigious tournament, which featured eight teams.
Red Arrows participated in the CECAFA tournament as a guest nation, using the competition as a preparation ground for the MTN Super League and their upcoming CAF Champions League preliminary round match against Nyasa Big Bullets of Malawi. Their impressive performance in Tanzania is a testament to their readiness and form.
The Airmen, as they are fondly known, have demonstrated remarkable consistency and skill, establishing themselves as a formidable force in Zambian football. Their success has not only brought pride to their club but also to Zambian football fans, who eagerly anticipate more triumphs on the continental stage.
As Red Arrows celebrate their treble, the football community in Zambia and beyond recognizes their exceptional achievements and looks forward to their continued success in the CAF Champions League and future competitions.
The Super 2024/25 season, in which Betway is the official betting partner of the Zambian Premier League, is scheduled to start on August 17th.
