Zesco United FC on Saturday evening leave for Morocco to play their second game of the CAF champions league group stage against Wydad Casablanca.
The Group A leaders welcome back to the team Kenyan duo of David Odhiambo and Jesse Were who missed the 3 – 2 win over Al Ahly in the team but will miss the services of their top scorer in champions league Idriss Mbombo who is still nursing an injury.
George Lwandamina named an 18 man strong squad which is part of a 32 man delegation to Morocco.
Zesco came into this stage of the competition as under-dogs but they announced their intentions quickly when they dispatched Egyptian giants Al Ahly with ease.
Wydad also won their opening fixture away from home by a goal to nil against Asec Mimosa of Ivory Coast.
The match will be played on Wednesday 29th June 2016 at 2200hrs.

some pipo r not needed there committee members for wat. Then asst coaches in zambia, wat do they do to sit nd point fingers at players. We need coaches who know wat they doing, mental coach, physical coach, a scout coach someone who can study the opponets.
That is a huge delegation of officials, and no women.
Only 2 officials needed to travel
Looks like an expedition trip , why too many officials than players?.
go zega mambo go team ya ziko
Go zesco utd go,make us proud we are behind you.we can beat those arabs.
Excellent delegation ,well and professionally organized . That’s what I expect from all Zambian teams.
Delegation or supporters, maybe the chimpwenazi.Who is paying for these tourists?
Good teams good plans. Go zega go. all da best ib morocco.
Zesco united should not play an open game they should park a bus and use counter attack because Arabs are very dangerous at home a draw will be good result for them
And they defence should be displine they should not allow loose marking like they did against Al Ahily of Egypt.since I have lost interest in our national team I will try to support zesco united this time around go zesco go you can do it
The problem here is that someone has bought bad lucky to our national team just like the way he did at kabwe warrios zambezi portlands I hope it won’t be transfered to zesco united.no name mention
I have a feeling that zesco will this time disappoint us.we will be skinned arrive in Morocco.However,i love you zesco go go all the best
Go and win
they shud buy more candles because they wil be a loadsheding in morocco. go zega go & loadshed them we are behind you guyz
wining or drawing away games wil be a key to progress to the semi finals lets go zega we can do it in morocco.
Honestly agree with the earlier comments. Why so many officials seven plus eight technical? Yaba….
why so many officials? 2 committee members for what? There are no officials from their secretariate. Communications Officer, Administrative Officer and Club Secretary seams not to be part of this large deligation. Has our FAZ Committee member Elijah Chileshe changed his surname to Chisanga?
All the best Zesco United our country’s representatives. You are not in Morroco only for your Zesco company, your supporters and Ndola residence, but for Zambia as a nation. you have made us pride .
