Zesco United will play Djoliba of Mali in 2nd round of Caf African Champions League.
It will be Djoliba’s first outing against Zambian opposition in 27 years.

Zesco will travel to Bamako in the first leg during the weekend of April 17-19 and later host Djoliba at the Trade Fair Grounds in Ndola on May 2.
Djoliba’s last meeting against a Zambian club was in 1982 in the defunct Caf Cup winners cup in a semifinal match-up against Power Dynamos that the latter won 2-1 on aggregate before finishing as runners-up in the same competition.
Winner of this second round, pre-group-stage clash will qualify to the lucrative group stage of the Caf African Champions League that kicks off on July 17.

Thanx for the info…
so far so good red arrows and zesco,doing us proud.all the best guys.
LT where are the League table standings. Looks like ZESCO will qualify to the knock out stage this time around. All the best team ya ziko. It will be good for our players exposure
ZESCO should remember that Djoliba, knocked out Green Bufalloes, a long time ago (I think 1978 or so). From the Last game so far it looks like they (djoliba) tend to play better away than in Bamako. This is an important factor to note and dont give them chance at their home ground hoping to come and finish them in Ndola. Go for their Jugular both at home and away.
I am sure a lot of our Sisters, married there, and our Nieces and Nephews in Bamako will come and cheer you there.
Continue the winning spirit together with RED ARROWS, you make us drink to the vistories.
