This is a good result. We have advantage of hosting them last
Zanaco will definetly qualify for the group stage of this Champions league, though not a good result but a very important one for the Zambia Champions. CAF should consider allowing two representatives from Zambia in the Champions league. Why should Sudan have two representatives while Zambia, a prominent figure in African soccer just has one, whats the trouble with FAZ engaging with CAF on this serious anomaly. Its very detrimental to growth of the game in the Country.
good results how i wish kabwe warriors was there.but remember osakula mutu.
This will only be good if they will go through to the next round.
“Why should Sudan have two representatives while Zambia, a prominent figure in African soccer just has one,”
Majestic, we used to be. Unfortunately, we have been wiped out off the soccer map. Stop hallucinating and face reality. :)>-
