  1. Good luck wishes from your Number One fan … You need to work hard and make sure you secure your place early so that you can start working on more friendly games before the main tournament.

    The smart people of the Zambian Enterprise need the Cup back home next year.

  2. I like this trend of having monthly training with local based players, which this previous foreign imbecile lacked. Janza is one of the less trusted coaches because he is Zambian, in whom the majority are corrupt and one sided on team selection…. Involve every potential footballers its good that you have seen the potential in Simon Bwalya….. Work hard or else you will together with Kalusha Bwalya…

  3. is it me or i think this is pure lack of common sense or strategy at the least? what will a friendly do for us with our local clubs apart from entertainment? how do you play against zambian’s when you are preparing to face other nations whose football style defers? if we are playing sudan for instance, coach whatever needs to organize a friendly with a team that passes a certain criteria compared to that of sudan. strategy ba coach, how do you swat flies in preparation for a fight against a buffalo?

  4. I’m not comfortable with that team manager being a Tonga myself I can say we good at looking after cattle.

  5. Chipolopolo is one bullet and Zipolopolo are 11 bullets?Can one bullet be effective naimwe olo penangu the name has to change mwe sure?
