Here is a look at Kennedy Mweene’s stunning trophy cabinet after he announced his retirement from football at the age of 38.
The Zambian legend hung up his gloves after almost 20 years in professional football. He started at Lusaka Dynamos FC in 2004 before he moved to Kitwe United FC the following year.
In the middle of the same year, he then moved down to South Africa to join Free State Stars. He spent eight years in the Free State Province before getting greener pastures at Mamelodi Sundowns in 2013.
Mweene has been at Chloorkop for more than ten years and the most of his spell there, he was the second-choice goalkeeper after Denis Onyango.

The former Chipolopolo shot-stopper lifted the PSL league title eight times and NFD once. He won the Nedbank Cup thrice and Telkom Knockout twice.
The 38-year-old hoisted the MTN8 once in 2021 when Sundowns beat Cape Town City on penalties. He was also part of the Bafana Ba Style team that won the 2016 CAF Champions League and 2017 CAF Super Cup.
Meanwhile, at the international level, Mweene made history with the Zambia national team, winning the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon. They lifted the cup as underdogs, defeating the star-studded team of Ivory Coast.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR ‘KAPALAYA’?
‘Kapalaya’, as he’s well-known in the football spaces, was a player-goalkeeper coach at Sundowns last season.
He started the role when the club’s goalkeeper coach Wendell Robinson was suspended during their clash against Orlando Pirates in February this year. Thereafter, he continued assisting in the goalkeeper department in the first team.
It remains to be seen whether he’ll continue with the role.
