“Nsofwa is a legend that side, he pictures are all over the walls at the club house and Stadium. When the fans heard that we were from Zambia, they have been very kind, helpful and supportful,” Hapoel Beer Sheva’s Justine Zulu told Zambianfootball.net in June.

Brenda said sports minister Gabriel Namulambe, the Football Association of Zambia and soccer fans are among the people invited for the first memorial. “The church service will be at 09:00 hours and all the people present are expected to join the procession for the unveiling of the tombstone at Old Leopards Hill,” she said. Brenda said players and officials from Zanaco and Green Buffaloes, which are some of the clubs Nsofwa played for locally, had officially been invited. Nsofwa who died at the age of 27 played at the 1999 Under 20 FIFA World Cup. The Zambian striker also played in Russia, Malaysia and Israel in his football career.
