LUSAKA, May 12 -- The head of Zambia's soccer governing body has been appointed to a committee of the world soccer governing body dealing with ethics and compliance, the soccer body said on Friday.

Andrew Kamanga, the president of the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has been appointed to represent Africa in the seven-member FIFA Audit and Compliance Committee after passing a stringent integrity check, according to a statement posted on the soccer governing body's website.
