The Zambia U23 national team will be action this evening when they take on Botswana in the 2015 Senegal CAF U23 qualifier.
The FIghton Simukonda coached side arrived in Botswana on Wednesday evening and will be favorites going into the tie against a formidable Botswana side which proved that they are capable of pulling a surprise after they beat Kenya 3 – 0 at home on the road to meeting Zambia.
Simukonda however has a formidable side which expected to hold its own despite playing away especially with the resilience they showed when they held a strong Nigerian side to a goalless draw in the All Africa Games qualifier played earlier in the year.

This evening all roads lead to Lobatse to see the young Chipolopolo in action against a depleted young Zebras who have their dependable players shifted to the the senior team like the Patson Daka style.The Chipolopolo clad fans have already started showing off their support in Gaborone shopping malls as they shop around before travelling en mass to lobatse.The Zambian embassy in Gaborone have organised a bus to send supporters to lobatse. I will be reporting direct from lobatse come 19 30 hours today. good lucky Zambia.
Many thanks bro. We will rely on you for updates. And probably Zamfoot. Cheers.
The Young Zebras are in for a hiding after they sacked their coach Pio Paul. Dry Vinkubala will be there in Lobatse with Frank Nonde on his side to cheer the boys. Ba Frank, please as usual, come in time for the game.

If its 1-1 its fair result for Zambia not bad anyway. They should jst ensure that they avoid a repeat of Nigeria situation. Good try lads.
Zambian coaches bwafya mwee… Why not use Lubambo Musonda and Benson Sakala, are they too polished? Because us who have watched Sakala, he is super good player.

There we go again Zambia as usual…we need God’s help wit our national teams lyonse ma draw nokulusa sure!!!!
Very poor result how can draw with a weak team like Botswana . There is no heroism in stupidity . This useless coach dropped players from the team for reporting late to camp. What hav you achieved. Poor results . All zambian coaches makes obvious blunders .
Shadreck musonda was denied the opportunity to show case his talent and to represent his country at all levels . What kind of selection criteria which is being used by these mediocre coaches . He has join kola and co who are viewed as misfit by these coaches .
It’s now official Renard has quit Ivory Coast role.

Speculation linking Herve Renard with the Lille job took on new significance after he left his role with Ivory Coast on Friday.
Herve Renard has left his position as Ivory Coast coach as speculation mounts that he will succeed Rene Girard at Lille.
“At the time when I decided to leave…I wanted to thank from the bottom of the heart all the people who have [played a role in] the victory of the Africa Cup of Nations last February,” the 46-year-old said in a statement.
Renard guided Ivory Coast to the Africa Cup of Nations title this year and had 18 months remaining on his deal.
It was announced this week that Girard will leave Lille at the end of the Ligue 1 season, but Renard gave no hint over his future as he offered an emotional farewell to Ivory Coast.
“Thank you to the fervour of an entire people who waited for 23 years [for] a coronation in the most beautiful competitions of the continent Africa,” Renard said. “The images of our return home, a few hours after our success against Ghana, will remain engraved forever in my head.”
This Renard guy is now just a prostitute. Yet even in immorality there are rules.
