This is not the time for building but to deliver results, says FAZ GS

FAZ General Secretary Adrian Kashala has told Chipolopolo faithful to expect results, and not ‘talk about building a team,’ as Zambia try to qualify to the Ivory Coast 2023 African Cup of Nations.

The FAZ CEO was speaking during Tuesday’s unveiling of the new Chipolopolo Boys’ coach Aljosa Asanovic at Lusaka’s Protea Hotel.

“All we are hoping for is qualification to the next AFCON. Like the coach said, we do not have any excuses now and we are not going to talk about building the team now,” the former Zambia Police Officer turned Lawyer said.

While Zambia has failed to qualify for the last three editions of the African Cup of Nations, featuring at Africa’s premier showpiece was a birthright.

From 1982 to 2015, Zambia only failed to qualify for the tournament twice -in 1988 when hosting rights were stripped off and in 2004 under Patrick Phiri.

And Kashala was alive to fact that qualification is a birthright.

“It’s about giving out results to the public. So we need to regain our old old ways of making AFCON qualification a tradition,” he said.

In his conclusion remarks also took the blame for the Chipolopolo Boys’ misfortunes

“I think Yes we have failed the country in the past few attempts we have made but I think we have also made a good team that we can all relay on.

“So arising from that please all we need is your support once again so that we make this qualification a must and something we need to achieve.

The draws for the AFCON 2023 qualifiers will take place in Douala, Cameroon on Friday, January 21, 2022.
