Rupiah Banda, the Fourth President of the Republic of Zambia, has expressed confidence that the Zambia national soccer team has what it takes to overcome the Ugandan Cranes’ impressive home record in today’s make-or-break 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Kampala.
The former President said that the Chipolopolo Boys have reached a level where they cannot be intimidated by their opponents’ records as was exemplified at the 2012 finals where they defied all odds to win their maiden African title in Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.
“We are aware that the Ugandan Cranes are a good side as we saw when they played our team in the first leg in Ndola. We are equally alive to their good home record which has remained clean since 2004. But this is what should encourage our boys to rise to the occasion and make us proud,” the former head of state says.
President Banda has urged Zambia coach Herve Renard and all his players to bear in mind that they have “the support of all of us here in Zambia” as they take on Uganda, and that their focus should just be on nothing but qualification to the South Africa edition of the African Cup of Nations.

First blood to Uganda! Walusimbi swings in a freekick from the left and Sunzu flicks the ball which falls to Massa unmarked in the box, adjusts his feet quickly and slams the ball past Mweene from 6 yards out. Namboole goes wild…..YABA!!!
”I have not watched a player that is as central or pivotal to a team’s success as Rainford Kalaba is for Zambia.When Kalaba performs, the Chipolopolo also shine. When he fades, the rest of the team fades as well.His teammates call him ‘The Master’.”-NEW VISION UGANDA
”The 26-year-old (KALABA)is the heart and soul of this Zambian team. He is the commander and match maker.Without him, the Zambians are virtually lifeless”-NEW VISION UGANDA
