Buildcon FC is a Zambian football club based in Ndola that plays in the MTN/FAZ Super Division. It is known for having an African multi-national squad.
Buildcon were founded in Choma as AM Welding in 2012.[2] [3]
Buildcon were promoted to the Zambian Premier League in 2017 after winning the Division One. Before the 2017 season the club changed its name and city, relocating north to Ndola.[2] [4] The club had been sold to Buildcon Investments, a Ndola building company, after the start of the 2016 season. Buildcon had originally petitioned to change their name after the first game of the 2016 season, but were not allowed.[5]
After their promotion, Buildcon developed a reputation as heavy spenders. They were the first team in the Zambian league to register more than 25 foreign players on their books and frequently fielded teams of 11 non-Zambian players.[2] [6] The non-Zambian influence helped Buildcon avoid immediate relegation, finishing ninth on their debut 2017 Premier League season.[7]
Buildcon dropped 14 foreign players and added more Zambian players for the 2018 season including international Chisamba Lungu.[8]
