Zanaco FC is a Zambian football club based in Lusaka, Zanaco stands for "Zambia National Commercial Bank". The team plays in the top division in Zambian football. Their home stadium is Sunset StadiumZANACO Football Club is a miracle side to a follower of Zambian football.

This club was virtually nowhere when the likes of Mufulira Wanderers, Nkana Football Club, Kabwe Warriors, and Nchanga Rangers dominated Zambian football.

In Lusaka alone, where Zanaco now hail from, it was Green Buffaloes, Red Arrows, and City of Lusaka who were giving competition to the soccer-mad Copperbelt Province.

But today, the Zambia National Commercial Bank sponsored side, Zanaco have shown just what money can do to football.

Whereas the traditional big teams have more or less died in Zambia, Zanaco, born in the 80s, have grown from strength to strength, and today Zanaco is one of the best teams in Zambian football arena.
