[Katongo is the one wearing Jersey 12]
It’s not true that Copper Queens midfielder Evarine Katongo is just sitting at home giving up on football.
The Copper Queen is training with her girlhood club Luyando Foundation in Kanyama.
In these images Katongo can be seen wearing jersey 12 in a friendly game against Pataak Queens in which she netted a beautiful goal in a 1-1 thriller at Barcelona Academy.
I spoke to Luyando’s Stephen Mwape and here is what I gathered:What roles has Luyando Foundation on Evarine Suzeni Katongo: Parent Club (groomed the girl since she was 8 up until she was loaned to Zisd in 2021)
Does she has a contract with Zisd? Yes she does. It ends in 2024.
Why hasn’t the player been training with Zisd instead she opted to train with Luyando Foundation: Only Zisd are in better position to answer.
Is Aaron Mubanga the agent to Suzeni Katongo: Big No. The only role Aaron has played is to market the girl and he has been doing that since 2018/2019.
NB: Luyando Foundation Management has nothing to do with her not training with Zisd nor her turning down of the offer from Sundowns. Infact, we only got to know of it through social media.
Is Evarine Suzeni Katongo injured: No. Infact she has been training and never does she miss training with us. We can’t send her away as she is our baby.
