The last bunch of the Zambia U23 national team foreign-based players has arrived ahead of the September 4th Egypt 2019 U23 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Congo Brazzaville.

The seven who arrived this afternoon are Austrian based duo of striker Patson Daka and midfielder Enock Mwepu, Russian based Lameck Banda and Klings Kangwa, Emmanuel Banda and Fashion Sakala from Belgian side KV Oostende and South Africa based Gamphani Lungu.

Mwiya Malumo and Bradley Mweene have already arrived. The arrival of the seven foreign-based ‘Bola na Lesa’ stars completes the coach Beston Chambeshi squad to face the Red Devils of Congo Brazzaville.

Zambia will play the first leg at home on September 4th at Heroes Stadium while the return leg will be in Pointe Noire on September 8.

  1. YES THIS IS THE GAME…. PLEASE ZAMBIA LETS BOYCUT PLAYING AGAINST BAFANA BAFANA FOR THIS FRIENDLY. THEY ARE KILLING ZAMBIANS AND OTHER FOREIGNERS HERE IN SOUTH AFRICA AND YOU STILL WANT TO PLAY WITH SUCH BAD PEOPLE.

  2. # BOYCOTT BAFANA FRIENDLY MATCH……….FOOTBALL HOUSE TEACH SOUTH AFRICANS A LESSON THAT ALL AFRICANS ARE ALSO PEOPLE. WHY KILLING THEM IN THEIR COUNTRY AND YOU STILL WELCOME KILLERS IN YOUR COUNTRY TO PLAY WITH THEM.

    PLEASE SHOW THE WORLD AND AFRICA AT LARGE THAT YOU ARE A PEACE LOVING AND CHRISTIAN NATION AND DOES NOT TOLERATE VIOLET PEOPLE…..

    LET THEM PLAY WITH THEMSELVES SINCE THEY DONT WANT OTHERS IN THEIR COUNTRY

    • I agree. This game should be cancelled as a show of solidarity towards all the foreign nationals that have been harmed in SA

  3. I think the game should go ahead. Politicians can deal with this. Let us just have APPROPRIATE messeges on the banners that we will display at the stadium. Let them know what we think of them. Those xenophobic chaps will be watching – trust me.
