Red Arrows Football Club is a Zambian football club based in Lusaka that plays in the MTN/FAZ Super Division. They play their home games at Nkoloma Stadium in Chelstone, Lusaka.


History

Red Arrows was established in 1972 as ZAF Lusaka Football. In its first season ZAF Lusaka won the amateur league being promoted to the Zambian second division. The team name changed in 1973 to Zambian Air Force Football Club. They were then promoted to the National League in the same year as the name change. They played the 1974 season under Yugoslav coach Dr. Bravo.

The 1975 season was the year the modern name Red Arrows Football Club was adopted. This name represents the team's philosophy perfectly, with its swift and fluid play style.
