Don’t be like South Africa who due to their pride have lost a lot for example look at our U23 defence it needs the legs of players like Marcel Kalonda to be solid why are we so rigid and selfish as Africans please ba Faz be the trend setters Idris Mbombo and Walter Bwalya these players I know they are willing and ready why why why! Thanks Ba Kasonde for your article!

Xenophobia is described as hatred or fear of foreigners. This is mostly associated with South Africans, but if look at Africans in general, you would agree with me that all Africans have phobia for each other. Africans are ready to worship the whites, the Chinese, but hate fellow Africans and are not willing to leave or work together for common goal. How is this related to football? This has come to mind after the recent arcuisition of a Zambian Citizenship by one Scott Ngokena. Scott has done this for his own benefits, but why is it so difficult for Africans to incorporate fellow Africans for a common goal of football the way European countries and other countries are doing it. The all conquering France 1998 had so many Foreigners, mention them Marcel Desaily Ghana, Patrick Viera, Senegal, Thiery Henry West Indies, Lillian Thuram Jamaica,Zinedine Zidane Algeria etc. The Germany National team has players of Austrian origin and Ozil from Turkey so on and so forth. Antonio Griezman is of German origin, but plays for France, but why is it so difficult for Africans to do this? Ngolo Kante, Mbape etc. We all remember how the issue of Walter Bwalya was blown out of proportion when he wanted to change his nationality. Today Zambia is host to so many foreigners playing in our local league, others have stayed here more than Scott Ngokena. Idris Ilunga Mbombo has been here just as Scott, but to here that Mbombo has changed his nationality, you will here politics like never, why can’t we work together as Africans? Mbombo would be a good addition to the Chani Team. Marcel Kalonde just like Mbombo has never played for Congo why can’t we start him at under 23?Xenophobia? We are politicking the French are busy recruiting Africans to make a strong team. Am yet to here of an African player playing for a different national team. Scott is not the best goalkeeper in Zambia, he is outside the top for, so we want a player who is in top form like Idris to change his nationality. Xenophobi

xenophobia is a South African thing we here in Nigeria don’t worship the white.. the white worship us cos we are Africans. our footballers will never opt for any team except the Nigerian football association don’t go for the footballer. our music is African our movie is African our culture is African so don’t say Africans cos we are proudly Africans.. we don’t kill or fear the blacks.. we protect them and help dem our only challenge is our old government dat don’t want to help the country
As you can see from Article 6.1, a player must either be born in a country, have biological ties to the country or have lived in the country for a certain period of time.
Interestingly, Article 6.2 states that: “…associations sharing a common nationality may make an agreement under which item (d) of par. 1 of this article is deleted completely or amended to specify a longer time limit. Such agreements shall be lodged with and approved by the Council.” The four British ‘home nations’ have recently opted to delete this item.
Assuming a new nationality
Article 7 deals with players who assume a new nationality in order to play for a national team and it uses the mostly the same criteria as Article 6.1, with only item (d) differing. In Article 7, the condition in item (d) says that a player will be eligible to play for a representative team if he has “lived continuously for at least five years after reaching the age of 18 on the territory of the relevant association.”
We have may excellent players but the problem is Africa will never change!

ONE WORD. PAPA KAMWASHI. WE DON’T NEED FOREIGNERS TO PLAY FOR ZAMBIA. WE HAVE TALENT
Truth Seleniko Twikale. Nice article for me if a player has been in the Country for more than 5 Years or they were born in a Country where the settled i don’t mind naturalising them.
1.As long a the extremely talented mote the local talent
2, Make sure you do your research properly before get the person to play. Especially the guys from DRC.. Has the player represented his Country of origin before at Senior level or not?
We had one player some years ago i think he used to play for Power Dynamos if not mistaken he played for DRC at one time and then came to Zambia then played for Zambia in a friendly game or some Africa Cup qualifier match. He was later banned by FIFA. I have just forgotten his name.
