Share

Zambia had their first training session in the American state of Florida on Thursday morning ahead of Saturday early morning friendly against Japan in Tampa.

The Patrice Beaumelle coached Chipolopolo squad arrived in Florida around 13h00 local time (19h00 Zambian time) on Wednesday.

According to FAZ spokesperson Nkweto Tembwe, a sizeable number of Zambians living in America received the National Team at Dulles International Airport in Washington on Wednesday.

And FAZ president Kalusha Bwalya who is in Florida has told Chipolopolo players to ensure that they preserve Zambia’s name as they face Japan in the 01h30 kick off match at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.

“We have travelled thousands of kilometers to come here and give a good account of ourselves, the good name of the country has to be defended here when we meet the Japanese. They have invited us because of our past record, but remember 2012 is gone and we need to maintain that good name by putting up our best ,” Kalusha said.

  1. “…..the good name of the country has to be defended….”

    Zambia’s name at the moment stinks because of Munshololwa.

  2. The name of Zambia has been pulled in dirty waters by kalusha himself. And does he have to go to USA too? Zambian leaders awe sure so self centred. I hate him now that thief!
