Kalume proud of Nkana’s Cosafa footprint in Confed Cup

Share

Skipper and midfielder Sydney Kalume says he is proud to note that Nkana is the only Southern African club remaining in CAF club competitions.

Nkana on Sunday made history by reaching the group phase of the 2014 CAF Confederation Cup after eliminating Tunisia’s CA Bizertin on away goal-rule after a 1-1 draw on aggregate.

Nkana are Southern Africa’s sole flag bearers in continental competitions after Kaiser Chiefs of South Africa were kicked out the Confederation Cup by ASEC Mimosas from the Ivory Coast.

Kalume said he was cheered over Nkana’s progress in the Confederation Cup.

“I am so happy and I am proud of this club, you know Nkana is a very big club,” he said.

Nkana are in Group B of the Confederation Cup together with Egyptian giants Al Ahly, Tunisia’s Etoile du Sahel and Sewe Sport of Cote D’ivoire.

“It is a tough group but we are going to do something. We are always ready, as players must be ready at any time,” Kalume added

  1. In Zambia, we easily forget. How can you say Nkana has made history because Zesco United were the first team to play in the group stage of African Champions league. They finished third in their group and earned USD 500,000.
    Let us give praise when it is due.
