HIGHLANDERS Football Club coach Kelvin Kaindu says he is a God-fearing man and law-abiding citizen and he will have no problem adhering to Fifa's call to ban the wearing of regalia with religious messages during matches, the Chronicle reported.
"Fifa are the custodians of football and whenever they propose changes to the laws of the game they do that without necessarily targeting any individual.
"I believe they will be doing it for the good of the game and if that proposal becomes law, I will certainly not have problems with it," said Kaindu.
The proposals, however, are silent on such regalia being worn by coaches. The Zambian mentor usually wears a white shirt with the inscription Joshua 1 v 5 or "It Shall be Well" during official Highlanders matches.
World soccer mother-body, Fifa have proposed some landmark amendments to the Laws of the Game that could see an increase in the number of substitutions while clubs face serious sanctions on the use of undergarment slogans by their players.
