“Right now what we can say is that a lot of people, what I have observed is that a lot of people in camp want this very much. And like last World Cup, we plan to do much better and bring the Cup to Zambia. You keep cheering for us and giving us support and 100% we’re going to bring back the Cup.”

Zambia will play their opening match on 19 October against Paraguay at the Football Academy Mohammed VI (Pitch 3) in Sale before facing Japan three days later at the same venue.
Their final game will be against New Zealand at the Football Academy Mohammed VI (Pitch 2).
