Sundowns hold Zambia in training game

Zambia wrapped up their South Africa training camp on Wednesday with a draw.

Chipolopolo were held to a 0-0 draw in Pretoria by South African club Mamelodi Sundowns.

The result came three days after Zambia rallied to beat Angola 2-1 in Johannesburg.

Zambia were using the five-day training camp to prepare for their 2016 CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN) campaign in Rwanda this weekend.

“We are at 90 per cent and have done lots of work. What remains now is the 10 per cent which is the tactical part,” Zambia captain Christopher Katongo said after the game.

Chipolopolo leave for Kigali on Thursday at the end of the South Africa training camp that began last Friday.

Zambia will kickoff their CHAN outing on January 19 with a Group D opener against Zimbabwe before taking on Uganda in their penultimate pool match on January 23 and face Mali on January 27.

Rwanda will host the 4th edition of the CHAN tournament from January 16 to February 7.

CHAN is a second tier Africa Cup championship exclusively for domestic-based players.

A new champion will be crowned this year after defending champions Libya failed to qualify for the tournament.

DR Congo and Tunisia , who won titles in 2009 and 2011, are in the race for a second crown each.
