Zambia enter training camp early this week in Lusaka to begin their build-up for next months inaugural Caf Africa Nations Championship (CHAN) tournament that will take place in Cote d’Ivoire from February 22 to March 8.
22 plus players including some new call-ups from trials held in Kitwe on Friday and Saturday for the Copperbelt-select team are expected to join the team in Lusaka.
The team goes into camp in the wake of a seemingly unsettled Herve Renard’s outburst on Saturday when he threatened that he would not travel with the team to CHAN because of the looming prospect of losing some key players for the tournament who have trial commitments outside Zambia.
One player in question is Lusaka Dynamos midfielder William Njobvu who is due to leave for Russia for a brief trial stint at CSKA Moscow while Renard will be without at least four players from Zesco United during the preliminary two weeks of training camp due to their Caf Africa Champions League commitments.
Zanaco striker Roger Kola too is an uncertainty with reports linking him with a move to Israel.
Defender Hichani Himoonde of Zesco United and Maunga Kabuku from Kabwe Warriors are all due to miss training camp due to injury.
Players registering with a foreign club during the January Fifa winter transfer period will be ineligible to take part in CHAN which is a new Caf biannual national team tournament for home-based players that will run in an odd year to the Africa Cup.
Sources claim Renard could also be without defender Emmanuel Mbola of division 1 north side Mining Rangers who is said to have a pending trial spell with an unnamed club in Scandinavia.
However, dispute his protests over the possibilities of no-shows in camp this week, Renard should have key Power Dynamos midfielder Kennedy Mudenda, defender Elijah Tana of Nchanga Rangers including striker Given Singuluma of Zanaco.
Meanwhile, the team has two international friendly matches lined up over the coming 25 days with away matches against South Africa at Super Stadium in Pretoria on January 27 and Cameroon on February 11 in Yaounde.

Ok. I don’t like football.
FAZ help renerd to assemble a strong side.those who want to 4trials let them wait until afta CHAN.
we always have problems when ever a big event is near,why? when are we going to go without problems here and there.anyway we are now used and just waiting to hear that they have been booted out.
ill preparation has always been our problem if kalu munaile and renard can put that straight we can acheive top slot our team is very average at present but if faz can modrenise our training and bonuses these boyz can go far and we need to revive the premiership dayz of tha 90s if we r to make an apperance at a world cup

We have sold our country by getting these loan from international bankers.
Quote:
“He said the Company had in 2006 secured a $664 million debt finance package from 14 International banks to develop LCM into the largest Copper Mine in Africa.
He added that the loan was the largest debt finance package in the history of the African continent and a testimony of the amount of faith the Investors and shareholders had in the Government and people of Zambia”
We are finished.
Zambian football has gone so down that we are now ranked 18th in Africa. Kalusha and his money hungry gang has failed to manage Football in Zed:-w
What a shame >:p
I guess it’s time to diversify to some other sport other than just soccer:-b
Morning all!!
I will repeat myself again to make it twice so that munvele futi nakabili: “you are advised to set your mind on LOSE mode if you are to avert having a heart attack when Zambia loses”.
Thank you very much. Good Day. No further comment on this matter.
No. 15 you don’t like football, then off the pitch. We don’t to know.
All the best boys. Go go go go go Zambia **==

Our coach Herve Renard is always very negative and as such i dont even see our boys rising up to the challenge and beat teams in our CHAN group.
This man just hopes to qualify the team to the African Cup of Nations where we’ve been on several occassions not the World Cup.The reason he gives is that Zambia is an average team which cant battle it out with the likes of Egypt.
If the Coach thinks like that, what more his players?
Ba zambia Makula Period.
Play matches + lose Matches = Fire coach.
44 yrs and counting!!
LET US SUPPORT BA ZAMBIA CHIPOLOPOLO
