Mutondo Stars have secured promotion to the FAZ/Eden National First Division after winning their group win a 100 percent run at the ongoing playoffs in Lusaka.
The old Kitwe giant that was revived in 2020 will head into the 2022/2023 season a tier away from the FAZ Super League where they have not been seen for over 25 years.
Mutondo on Sunday beat Blue Arrows 1-0 thanks to a Richard Mwila goal to see them finish top of the Group B playoffs on maximum 12 points and a whooping nine points ahead of second placed Aguila who were in action late on Sunday.
Zeddy Saileti’s side started off their push for Division 1 promotion on June 9 with a 6-0 bashing of Mansa Wanderers.
Mutondo followed that up the next day by beating Aguila 2-0 and then on Saturday stopped Real Nakonde 1-0.
Saileti’s team will be joined in Division One by Riflemen who finished top of Group A with 10 points, seven points ahead of second placed Katete Rangers who were still in action by press-time.
