The Chipolopolo boys have left for Douala, Cameroon for an international camp ahead of the back-to-back clashes with Equatorial Guinea in the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has confirmed.
The team consists of fourteen local players and the technical bench who have left for the West African Nation at 15:15 hrs aboard an Ethiopian Airlines flight with foreign-based players expected to join camp in Doula.
“The weeklong international camp has been organized to ensure that the team acclimatizes with the weather that is similar to the conditions in Equatorial Guinea.”
Zambia will be away to Equatorial Guinea on October 7th before hosting the Nzalang Nacional three days later at National Heroes Stadium.
Zambia is in second place in Group B with three points while Tunisia tops the pool with six points.
Equatorial is third and sits on the same points with Zambia with an inferior goal difference with Mauritania at the bottom with zero points. FAZ vice president Justin Mumba is leading the delegation to Cameroon.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has approved the request by FAZ to admit 20, 000 fans for October 10, 2021, FIFA World Cup qualifier between Zambia and Equatorial Guinea set for National Heroes Stadium.
Coach Beston Chambeshi and his lads are in desperate need of back-to-back wins if the country’s elusive World Cup dream is to be realized.
