Abstract: Football facilities are an essential component of any society as it provides open spaces that help people, both old and young, develop physically. In addition, it provides space for recreation and space for various other activities that people carry out to have a balanced way of life. The purpose of the study was to investigate the utilisation of football facilities in selected clubs of Monze district, Zambia. A sample of 3 coaches, three club managers, one council planning officer, and three chairpersons was chosen from the three clubs and 30 athletes, i.e. ten from each club in the Monze district. The homogeneous purposive sampling technique was used to select a small number of athletes of the same characteristics from the same clubs. The study employed a descriptive research design where the qualitative method was used. Data were collected via face-to-face interview guide, focus group discussion guide, phone interview, observation checklist, and open-ended questionnaires. Qualitative data were analysed thematically. The research found that football facilities were utilised for various activities in the selected clubs. Such activities included International Teachers’ Day, International Nurse’s Day, and AIDS day. At times, the facilities were used for political campaigns by various political parties during the by-elections and general elections. The study recommended a need for football club maintenance to optimise the utilisation of football facilities in the community.
