The Zambia national soccer team is this afternoon having the final training session in preparation for tomorrows game against Mozambique in the first round second round 2016 Rwanda CHAN qualifier.

Chipolopolo, coach George Lwandamina is expected to be very tactical in his approach though the ZamFoot Crew has noted that there could be just two changes to the starting line-up from the training sessions observed.

With a USD1,200 promised to each Mamba player if they beat the Chipolopolo, Mozambique coach Mano-Mano has promised that that he will go for a tactical arrangement that will increase the offensive flow in order to score as many goals as possible.

  1. Give us 3pts boys though a draw won’t hurt.
    Coach Simukonda, Iam one of your biggest fans and I just want to remind you to step up preps for the under 23 s. We need to go n make some noise at the tournament in Senegal and all of us knows that one spot out of 3 won’t come cheap .
    Tournament is about 7 weeks away!

  2. lwandamina u wil not finish Chisamba & lubambo. by not give them 90 mints to play 4 zambia, but these guz they wil countinue raise de zambian flag in europe.

  3. If a Country wants to yield positive results in future, t shuld plan fo 4-5 years. Th using of abena chipeshi, mukandawire n jack chirwa may seem to b useless at th moment buh once thz guys gain th much needed experience, thy will b great assets to our team. Wen egypt faild to qualify to th Afcon in 2012 thy decided to let go off most of thr Madalas n opted to start using thr U20 n 23 team. Th Egyptians again failed to qualify with thr young team in 2013 n 2015.. Buh now thy ar in pole position to qualify with th same young team thy assembled in 2012 n thy are bashing teams like Zambia in friendlies. #evn kalusha wen he built a new team in 2004, zambia usd to lose sm matches buh th chipolopolo afcon winning team had 70% of th team he was using btn 2004-2006. So th use of thz young players will help our chipolopolo in th nxt 3-5 years to come.

  4. Yeah th changin of coaches do hinder our progress. We shuld hv a strong youth policy. Eg If an U17 squad perfoms well, th team togthr with th coach shuld graduate to th U20.

  5. Chicken Goerge u are a good coach but the only problem is that u like selecting national team players only from the teams u hv coached b 4 or where u are.
