Zambia’s African Cup of Nations Group B opponents Cape Verde will kick- off their pre- 2015 Africa Cup camp in Lisbon Portugal early next month.
A 30- member provisional team will go into camp in Portugal’ s capital on January 3 under the helm of coach Rui Aguas .
The team will camp in Lisbon for a week before heading to Senegal where they hold their final phase of preparations.
While in Dakar, Cape Verde will play Congo- Brazzaville in a friendly on January 10 en route to Equatorial Guinea .
Cape Verde are in Group B at the Africa Cup where they will play DR Congo ,Tunisia and Zambia.
Meanwhile , Aguas has axed captain and midfielder Marco Soares from his provisional team . The 30- year- old of Angolan club 1 Agosto has struggling with fitness issues for most of 2014 after sustaining a knee injury last February.
“I am sad after failing to be part of the 30 players, ” Soares said on his Facebook Page .
“I knew it would be very difficult to make the final 23 because of how my season went but at the same time had hope that I would make the provisional team after what I represent in the group. ”

and in Zambia. we have mayuka who is lacking game time. playing regularly in the national team. janza needs to warn mayuka, he better find a club were he will be playing or face the axe in the national team
@Paradox, how do players ‘find’ better clubs, is it not due to your performance that attract club to you than the other way round of ‘looking for a club’? Mayuka’s lack of game time means no one observe him or even hear of him, the more the time a player spends on the pitch the more is likely to be noticed by poachers, on the bench? Forget it. Unfortunately Mayuka cant force himself on the pitch but my wish is that those time hes given a chance to play let him outdo himself – score goals like a rabbit on steroids, then he will start getting nods from the coach and poachers.
Paradox, see judge joe Bidens comment. You cannot bribe to have a good team. This is not the qualifiers where you bribed referees to win games ONLY AT HOME. No away wins. CHANGE YOUR OBSCURE MENTAL PERSPECTIVE.
Joe Biden was trying to teach you a moral lesson. Your antiquated ideas have no place in the modern era.
True dat, even if he opts to go back to Switzerland it’s ok.
YOU SEE THE THING IS THIS….IT DOESNT MATTER WETHER ZAMBIAN STRICKERS TRAIN OR NOT, IT DOESNT MATTER IF THEY ARE GETTING REGULAR GAME TIME OR NOT BECAUSE NO MATTER WHAT THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SCORE GOALS AGAINST ANY WEST AFRICAN TEAM. IM SURE YALL KNOW ASAMOAH GYAN,WATCH HOW A STRICKER PERFORMANCE…HAHAHAHAHA
and kennedy mweene made him retire from the black stars squad.
Dont forget it was zambia that made gyan retire playing for Ghana after missing that penalty. also dont forget that it was sunzu that caused gyan to be substituted wen u guys won 2:1 in that juju infested babayaro stadium.
Lesotho is waiting for you all. No away win during qualifiers? Bribing referees at home to win games is all the “chimps” could do. Cape Verde, the rising African Giants are patiently waiting to pounce on you .
mumbi. the ghanains on ghanasoccernet r telling the the punch of yo taunts. some r even using yo name.kekekeke.
We now have a wounderfull team of young and moderatly experienced players. Our current team is the best we have and I hope our techanical beach will use the right tactics to dismantle these small teams like Cape Verde and Equatorial Guine who depend on foriegners turned nationals in their national teams. I hope that white man, who is the assistant to Mr Janza, is around to stregthen our beanch.
Its now up to FAZ to quicly arrange quality friendlies for the team and not just talk that we are playing this or that country. Lets start seeing quality friendlies
Ghana’s blackstars is a 1-Man team – Mark Gyan as we normally do they struggle terribly, dont even waste your time analyzing Ghana there other more in-form teams we need to be looking at.
…. copy cats……
Let them camp there, we’ll be eagerly waiting to tame their wings.
So this team has no strikers! Only GK DF and MF! Let them prepare we are also preparing. Wish shall meet on the pitch.
Cape Verde’s attacking machine will tear the porous defence Of Zambia into pieces. Roots are you serious by saying that foreigners are playing on the Cape Verde team ? Start compiling excuses and you will have a chunk of such excuses when you are sent home by Cape Verde. Fear is gripping the Zambians. You are out before you begin.CAPE VERDE Is UNBEATABLE .
No away win for Zambia during the qualifiers ? No World Cup dreams for you. Ghana and Lesotho will stand in your way.
Zambia is cursed and WILL NEVER QUALIFY FOR THE WORLD CUP. You will play all your soccer in Africa where you don’t even have much to show in terms of achievement. CAPE VERDE ALL THE WAY.
@Paradox incarnated . I COULD HAVE SAID IT ANY BETTER, KUDOS WELL SIAD
thank u in return GH MUMBI, my brother. The Zambians are afraid of Cape Verde and are now giving excuses.
