Zanaco midfielder Abraham Siankombo says he wants to help the Copper Bullets win the 2022 COSAFA championship.
The 24-year-old is looking forward to making his national team debut after being included in coach Aljosa Asanovic’s 23-member local squad for the 2022 COSAFA tournament.
The midfielder is keen on living up to expectations and believes that the experience he has gained playing in the Super League and CAF will surely help him.
“I felt happy when I saw my name among the players that have been called up and I’m looking forward to helping the team to win the tournament,” Siankombo told ZANACO media.
“I have gained some experience from the time I’ve played in the Super League and also the CAF competition and will live up to expectations from the coach,” he added
Siankombo and his Chipolopolo teammates will enter camp on Wednesday, June 29th in Lusaka.
The COSAFA championship will also act as a preparatory ground for the July 24 African Nations Championship tie against Mozambique in Maputo and the September round of the Ivory Coast 2023 Africa Cup of Nations back-to-back clashes with Lesotho.
The Chipolopolo will join the tournament at the quarterfinal stage with a tie against the winners of Group A that comprises Botswana, Angola, Comoros, and Seychelles.
The 2022 Senior COSAFA Mens’ tournament will be staged in Durban, South Africa from 5th July to 17th July.
