  1. They are a tough nut to crack, we need to prepare adequately. Preparations should start now. We ensure we get maximum points from the home game and score enough goals.

  2. Guyz they say dat there are no underdogs in modern day football,so lets make sure we destroy da ugandan team like no mans business.mind u uganda drew against senegal in the world cup qualifyin games.Lets be cautious.

    • i agree with you because am in kampala and i can proudly say that Zambia needs to score alot of goals in Ndola. Uganda is a descent side and have not lost consecutive games like 8 games with likes of Senegal, Nigeria, Angola and so Zambia needs to be careful

  3. This is a walk in the park,I care less what you say!
    10 -0 Home 3 -0 and again away 21-1 in favour of Zambia

    • It will be a hard game but Zambia will pull through. We should not play the way we played against Sudan. Because a 2-0 score line will be difficult to overturn.

  4. Uganda has never been beaten by Chipolopolo in all the previous meetings so please start preparing now.

  5. Thank the whole fixtures

  6. These will be two touch games, these guys beat Congo B 4:0 in Kampala. Zambia needs to prepare adequately.

  7. Serious preparations pliz,Uganda are no push-overs and i just want 2 take this opportunity to wish all the Southerners the best of luck,Malawi finish off Ghana 4 me,burn them to ashes.CHIPOLOPOLO 4LIFE….Iyeeeeee

    • i here chipolowhat will crush dem Ok will see that… send them plizzzzzzzzzzzzzThis is the simplest draw that Ugandan’s could ever ask for! South Africa, Uganda is coming!

  8. The Chipolopolo were embarrassed recently in Khartooum, Sudan. The Cranes are certainly not a push-over – not according to their past record.

  9. These to ma uganda people are calling them selves as GIANT KILLERS. let them wait & see wat we gona show them.they are talking on other nets. i cant say go chipolopolo go where i have already seen them gone.i just congratulate chipozi for making it to AFCON ful again stopppppppppppppppppp!!!!

  10. ZAMBIA 2 -1 UGANDA – FIRST LEG
    AND THEN UGANDA 1- 0 ZAMBIA .
    I KNOW THIS IS GONNA ANNOY MY ZAMBIAN FRIENDS, BUT WAIT AND WATCH THIS SPACE.

    • Chukwe its actually NIGERIA 2 – 1 LIBERIA
      -FIRST LEG

      LIBERIA 1-0 NIGERIA

      ZAMBIA 4-0 UGANDA

      UGANDA 1-1 ZAMBIA

    • Your right Chukwe, Zambia is gonna see fire!!!!!, actually it will end in a draw in Lusaka, then A win for Uganda in Kampala, Iam sory but thats it..

  11. Chukwe,don’t worry about annoying us. You have every right to speak your mind loud. We just wanna say we love you even though you misrepresent. God loves all his children. Ba Luganda,Vietnamese,combodians-everybody. We are not like the divide and rule politicians who want to hear everybody say their name or party

  12. Read above comments by replacing Uganda with Zambia and then replace Zambia with all zambia’s opponents at the last Afcon. 

    The underdog won the last Afcon.

  13. This looks like just our time to shine. Uganda is 85th on Fifa ranking Zambia 41. I did not travel to Ndola during Ghans game because of TB Joshua. I am there this september. Viva AfCON 2013. viva Brazil 2014

  14. there is another interesting thing on these qualifiers. Ivory Coast has been paired with Senegal. This means one of these two will not mke it.

  15. Even if chaps say football is a funny game,anything can happen in football……etc the Cranes know that its the Chipolopolo lads who will come out on top period!

  16. An opportunity for Zambia to score 7-0 like Ghana did to Lethoto! Thanks you Jesus, this is not the year to struggle!!

  17. Zambia will wire Uganda like a hot knife cutting thru butter. Aggregate Zambia 45 Uganda 1. Zambia will go on to retain Afcon as there will be no Ivory coast and Egypt. Viva Zambia Africa’s Spain!!

  18. Uganda has been beaten by Zambia before ….in a crucial game years back Ucar came off the bench for Burton UBZ Mugala…..we need 3 goals to qualify and at the time the tie was going Uganda way with the likes of Philimon Omondi and John Ouma……Ucar tore the record sheets scoring twice in what was to be perharps one of the most exciting games ever at Dag including one solo effort that still leave goose pimples and leaves me sweating just in remembering that sizzler of a shot for Ucar Godfrey Chitalu…..yah…..

  19. UGANDA IS NOT A PUSH OVER, IF ZAMBIA IS NOT CAREFUL IT CAN KISS THE DUST THEY HAVE GOOD PLAYERS AND PLAY FANTASTIC FOOTBALL. IN NUT SHELL THEY ARE THE BEST IN EAST AFRICA.

  20. Chipolopolo means copper bullet. It is the same bullet which killed or should I say crashed the elephants. If you doubt, ask Drogba. What can fail the copper bullets who are the major share holders of the man made crane not to beat them. When chipolopolo cames for the second match with 3 points at hand, they will remove copper components from the crane and we shall see how the so called the crane will work.

  21. Careful Fisherman Uganda is no joking subject ask Congo. Godfrey Massa’s goal even broke thru the net i dont think Chippo’s can stop the cranes on their way to RSA

    • Lule come on i watched that game live at namboole the net was already broken eheheheh all i can say is you are a good side at home and your coach is a good tactician so Zambia need to becareful, but with all due respect zambia is a better footballing nation than Uganda. However, may the best team win

  22. wow!!!!!!!! ba zed na uganda! ebooom. lets be cautious guys no more under gogs in thw soccer vocabulary. zambia 5- 0 uganda. zed alllllllll the way

  23. Zambia 2-2 Uganda and home and Uganda 3-1 Zambia in Nambole, Uganda! This is the simplest draw that Ugandan’s could ever ask for! South Africa, Uganda is coming!

  24. Come on Uganda Cranes. Gonna be an exciting 2 matches. The one in Uganda especially will be a cracker. We Go! We Go!  #TeamUganda

    • \:d/\:d/\:d/
      Zambia is joking. Uganda has not lost at home since 2005. Uganda has been Zambia on so  many occasions. We simply have no respect for Zambia. We shall attack in Zambia, no defending. Nigeria, Ghana, Angola, Benin have all fallen in Kampala. Uganda has recently beaten Morocco in Morocco, Sudan in Sudan. It is going to be the first Africa Cup of Nations without the defending champions. Uganda is a sleeping giant not giant killer.

  26. Senegal – Ivory Coast game is mouthwatering. As a Chipo fan I would like Senegal to win so that we reduce the copmetition. The Elephants are hungry and angry for the trophy.

  27. At first the draw got me scared when i heard we were facing Zambia….BUT who in AFRICA thought zambia would be champions…guyz be careful Nambole stadium is fortress in Africa.ask Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal..etc….we are gona give u a RUN for money….HEADLINES…..CHAMPIONS CRASHED OUT…..olo..we go we go..uganda cranes we go…..we have to win we go….

  28. From the Uganda Observer:

    The two nations have faced off 31 times and the Zambians hold the edge with 16 wins while seven have been draws with the most recent one coming in 2010 when the two sides drew 1-1 at Namboole in a friendly. However, the two teams haven’t met in a competitive match in almost two decades and The Cranes ejected the Chipolopolo in a penalty shootout to qualify for the Cecafa Cup final.

    Our colleagues want to ravish in CECAFA, these are 2 different levels of football. We await you the Cranes (A long legged bird vs The Copper Bullet), to the Levy Mwanawasa Abbatoir in Ndola.

  29. Hahaha…..am sorry to say this because “you won’t make it @Namboole!!” If your bothering you can ask senegal,Nigerians southAfricans or the congolese even Brazilians……the spanish a also aware of the Ugandacranes!! Any way we a the UgandaCranes so the chipolopolo gonna not hundle this………wego ugandacranes……the first finals without defending champions!!

  30. No easy game in soccer these days, so since we’ll be playing home first we should do to these people what Ghana did to Lesotho,and we’ll be done.

  31. People, please help me understand. I thought as defending champions we have automatic qualification? When did things change?

  32. zambia to me has never been a football giant in the history of football but all i can say is they worked hard and the hardwork paid off soooo let no body jump to a straight conclusion.i would say that its time they have to prove to africa that some things weren,t by chance all i can say-its going to be a hard test and i wish the “champions”bonne chance.

  33. #45 Uganda in not a match for Zambia when it comes to AfCon. Zambia is always at the Afcon, been in the finals 3 times and won it once. Zambia is currently 41 on Fifa as compared to Uganda 85. Tell me what records has Uganda on the Afcon. I was looking and most ofnthe time is either never qualified or withdrawn. It will be the same this time around.
