  1. Keep working hard boys. We believe in you.

    Please FAZ do something about the jersey. This jersey in the picture looks like it was made in a shop somewhere in Kamwala by some Chinese who were working overnight.
    These boys are going for a tournament that will be screened across the globe. The might be playing some of the best soccer at the tournament at least let them look good.

  2. Aba abaiche sure, tamwaleke fyo??? Elyo kabili tamwalaba imisango yawama so??? technique or JUJU, we have no time to waste.
    We are behind you na Portugal yine kubola.
    In 1988, the KK 11 hammered Italy 4-0, If they did it, you can also did it.
    God Bless you.

    • Last time Zambia was in Korea, with our Olympic Team (1988), we did very well, the best ever that time for an African Team. So history is on our side in that country!

  3. Great work by the young guns. Look forward to watching or hearing about their journey in the upcoming Youth World Championships. Perhaps one of the most talented Zambia U20 teams ever assembled. African champions by the way.

  4. I can’t wait to watch junior Chipolopolo Ku world cup,there to compete not to participate Chipolopolo all the way!!!

  5. Zambia must seek advice from the kings of African football, Ghana and Nigeria before you start talking, aba. Besides, stop putting pressure on the Z Under 20 boys cuz U20 world cup is a different ball game altogether.

  6. Now that Kalu is gone Zambian football will improve. He was a big problem. Too much corruption in the way he handled things. Because of his poor management we missed afcon 2017 and performed poorly at the previous editions. With kamanga in the house Zambia will fly.
