Share

Zambia faces elimination from the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers on Wednesday evening as they host Niger in the two’s fourth Group F match at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola.

Chipolopolo must beat Niger if they are to remain relevent in the Morocco 2015 AFCON qualifying campaign.

Honour Janza’s side sits on two points after three rounds of matches and bottom placed Niger have equally picked two points so far in the campaign.

The two teams are four points behind group leaders Cape Verde and three below second placed Mozambique.

The losing team at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium will be eliminated from the qualifiers in case Mozambique collects a point in Cape Verde.
Prior to this game, Janza has insisted that Zambia are still in the race to Morocco.

“We are still in contention and have nine points to fight for,” he said.

Niger forward Kamilou Daouda declared that the West Africans are in Zambia to beat Chipolopolo.

“Zambia is a big team but we are here to win,” Daouda said.

    • At Shepolopolo… they lost 6-0??? Blame their minister who is busy fighting youths.
      I hope the boys will win 6-0 on Wednesday, otherwise it is better just to shut-down the entire ministry.

  1. Who cares anyway.Zambia should be qualifying in things like:
    1.Clean streets
    2.Having the most modern universities in Africa
    3.Having the most dynamic democracy in Africa.
    4.More youths in universities and employment in Africa.

  2. @ MOSI

    EYASHANI IYO @morsi..ASSIGNMENT FOR YOU…COMPARE THE FOOTBALL Fraternity IN AFRICA AND EUROPE.. evaluate who follows it how it contributes ecomically and commercially to the livelihood of people in these two regions??. bushe kulandalandafye morsi bachika**!!! your essay will justifiably give an account of your line of thought…………

  3. There I was thinking this headline was to do with Olympic swimming…finally another sport …. but alas in Zambia its just one sport football which is going NOWHERE and enriching Galu and his puppets.

  4. It is a long gone conclusion, Zambia just like Nigeria are not going to AFCON 2015.
    It’s time we reorganized our soccer in Zambia with a focus on youth football. We have the under 20 and under 17 who have qualified to the youth competitions. Why not concentrate on them. All we need is a new FAZ president like Ponga Liwewe and a new expatriate coach.
    A new start, a new name- Copper Eagles.

  5. 4the 1st time i am going to cheer for foreign team Niger and wish Niger a win if it doesn’t win then it’s Ebola at play in West Africa! Good day Niger! Auvre Niger!
