The Chipolopolo have jetted off to Bujumbura, a few hours after hosting Burundi in a Group I AFCON qualifier in Ndola.
The team left at 03h00 aboard Ethiopian Airlines via the Kenneth Kaunda International Airport.
After the match, the team flew to Lusaka from Ndola aboard Zambian Airways as part of making the team have enough time to prepare for the return leg.
They will connect via Addis Ababa and are expected to arrive in Burundi at 12h00 local time.
Zambia plays Burundi on Tuesday in Bujumbura on match day 4.
Zambia were left frustrated after surrendering their lead to draw 1-1 with Burundi in their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Group I qualifier at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola on Friday.
Edward Chilufya put the Chipolopolo ahead in the 64th minute, but Jean Girumugisha struck 17 minutes later to earn Burundi a share of the spoils and deny Zambia maximum points on home soil.
The result was a disappointing outcome for George Lwandamina’s side, who had hoped to capitalise on home advantage and strengthen their position in the race for a place at the 2027 tournament in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.
