According to the country’s Drug Enforcement Commission, DEC, Kamanga obtained government funds under false pretences and was part of a conspiracy to defraud.
Andrew Kamanga, the president of the Football Association of Zambia (Faz) has been arrested and charged with money laundering offences.
According to the country’s Drug Enforcement Commission, DEC, Kamanga obtained government funds under false pretences and was part of a conspiracy to defraud.
Madalitso Kamanga and Jairous Siame - the two individuals who travelled to the tournament as part of Faz's support staff - have also been charged, along with Faz general secretary Reuben Kamanga, BBC reports.
An investigation revealed that neither Madalitso Kamanga, who is not related to Andrew Kamanga, nor Siame held official or executive positions within Faz.
The quartet are alleged to have worked together to obtain 341,902 Zambian kwacha ($13,150, £10,580) from the government for expenses and a further 99,980 kwacha ($3,850, £3,095) for return flights to Ivory Coast.
According to the agency, the fraudulent activity occurred between January 1 and February 15, coinciding with the Nations Cup finals.
Andrew Kamanga said Madalitso Kamanga and Siame, officials at club sides Lusaka Dynamos and National Assembly respectively, were "part and parcel of Faz".
"There was actually nothing untoward," he said during an interview on Prime Television Zambia.
"As far as we are concerned whoever we send on assignment, whether local or foreign, they are part and parcel of Faz.
"In the last eight years that I have been at Faz it was the first time we were getting such a query.
"We have never been given guidance that these parties should only be for Faz staff and executive committee members. We did clarify that with the Ministry [of Sport]."
A Faz spokesperson said Andrew Kamanga's arrest was "part of a long-term plan to bring [into] question" his reputation ahead of the governing body's elections next year.
DEC said the suspects would be arraigned in court soon.
