Too bad trip C. Let the club work on this issue as soon as possible. We want him to feature for the home tie against the Carthage eagles of Tunisia. In fact, we would loved him to play tomorrow.
Lets hope his papers will be resolved as soon as possible.
Idiotic FAZ administrators. They should have confirmed the visa status of all the players weeks ago.
This is so unprofessional by Faz, how can this happen when they were fully aware that he (Chama) was to take part in the game? Ni vaupuba ivi
That’s incompetence by faz let them know that resign if they have failed to run football
Kamanga is a failure. The technical is too small to drill chipolopolo. King kalu wants say no local coach is ready to coach chipolopolo. That’s true. Zambia will never qualify for a big. If they have hopes to entertain this a lot needs to be done.
He needs to play the home game against Tunisia. This game should be a must win for Zambia. The we ambush Equatorial Guinea home and away. We have to go to the world cup. May HH has come with Lucky.
What say you now? Learn to be confident in your team, with such negativity, how do you expect to win anything?
Kalu failed to qualify you to the world cup when he the cream of the players…
