Zambia will be the second African nation North Korea will play this year after facing Congo-Brazzaville earlier this month on October 13 in Le Mans, France.

Zambia face 2008 Cosafa Senior Challenge Cup runners-up Mozambique in the semifinals tomorrow in Bulawayo for a place in Sundays final at Rufaro Stadium in Harare.
The match will be Zambia’s 11th against Mozambique who are one of the few sides yet to beat the former.
Winner of Thursdays match will face hosts Zimbabwe in the final after they beat 2008 Cosafa Senior Challenge Cup champions South Africa 3-2 on post-match penalties after a 1-1 draw at full-time.
hey guys ..how has it changed ….they announced that it willbe south corea vs zambia and now are saying north korea…….let’sbe serious.
What north korea ? Kind of strange pyongyang tries by all means not to relate with other countries and them participating in international sport ? Um
Why would a country that has made it to the world cup want to embarrass itself by playing a friendly match with a useless team like Zambia? A team that has only scored 2 goals in 5 games in the qualifiers. N. Korea if you want your players to get injured b4 you go to SA go ahead with the nonsense you are contemplating. Our stadiums are full of ditches which will provide perfect conditions for your players to get injured. Look 4 serious teams that have made it to SA and not this useless team you are considering.
here we go again lets hope that FAZ won’t mess up this time.I must say that FAZ has been emberasing considering the fact that great Kalu doen’t stay in zambia to monitor what is happening.
Ba Gorobah:why are you shooting at your own foot?
