After a protracted fight with cancer, Mr. Adams passed away this afternoon. He was 70 years old.

The loss of Mr. Adams, according to FAZ President Andrew Kamanga, has deprived the game of a priceless asset.

“On behalf of my executive and the entire football community, I would like to express my deepest condolences to the Adams family for the passing of Hanif. We join them in mourning this great sports personality whose contribution to the game is immeasurable,” says Kamanga.

“Mr. Adams left a permanent footprint on the Zambian football landscape with his lifelong proprietorship of Lusaka Dynamos and other community projects.

Hanif gave his all to the game of football, serving on numerous committees related to both football and FAZ.

“As a life member of FAZ, he was among the seniors that we drew counsel from in the management of our game.”
