Napsa Stars captain Dickson Chapa is expecting a tough match this afternoon when Napsa Stars make their CAF Confederation Cup debut.
Chapa is confident the Pensioners will fight for a positive result in Comoros as they are not just representing themselves as Napsa Stars but also Zambia as a country.
“I think the game will be very tricky since we traveled to a foreign country we expect a crucial match but as a team, we are very prepared, As you know we are not just representing Napsa Stars but also representing our country Zambia so we are here to fight for our nation to fight for our badge as Napsa Stars,” Chapa said.
“It will be our debut match, This is our first time we are participating in Continental matches but I think it will be a big fight for us we have to do our best to get a positive result from here,” he added.
