The Zambia National Football Team has left for the 2022 Hollywoodbets COSAFA tournament currently underway in Durban South Africa.
The Chipolopolo Boys left for Durban aboard a South African Airlines flight this afternoon.
Head coach Aljosa Asanovic and his technical bench have been taking the lads through their paces and fine tuning the squad in the last few weeks.
Zambia will join the quarterfinal stage on Tuesday where they await Group A winners.
Group A comprises Angola, Botswana, Comoros, and Seychelles.
Zambia are eying a sixth title to join neighbors Zimbabwe as the teams with the most titles in the regional showpiece.
Zambia last won the tournament back in 2019 under Green Eagles boss Aggrey Chiyangi with Lazarus Kambole, Bruce Musakanya, Sebastian Mwange, Austin Muwowo and Tapson Kaseba as the key players.
The five-time Cosafa Cup champions also have an eye on the July 24 African Nations Championship (CHAN) first leg tie away to Mozambique.
