Share

Zambia coach Wedson Nyirenda has summoned his overseas big guns for next week’s four-nation friendly tournament in Ndola.

Austrian-based striker Patson Daka and his RB Salzburg club mate and midfielder Enock Mwepu are among eight foreign-based players drafted for the tournament Zambia will host at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium from March 22-25.

Russian-based striker Fashion Sakala of Spartak Moscow 2 and midfielder Emmanuel Banda of Belgium club KV Oostende are the European-based call-ups.

The rest are 2018 Zambia Footballer of the Year and midfielder Augustine Mulenga of Orlando Pirates in South Africa including his club mate striker Justin Shonga.

Nyirenda has also recalled midfielders Salulani Phiri of Polokwane City and Roderick Kabwe from Ajax Cape Town.

The eight complement the provisional 30-member domestic team who are currently in training camp in Lusaka.

Meanwhile, Angola, Bafana Bafana, Zimbabwe and hosts Zambia will grace the four-nation cup.

Zambia will face Zimbabwe in the opening doubleheader semi-final at 13h00 while Bafana Bafana will take on Angola at 15h00.

Winners will play in the final on March 25 at 15h00 while the semifinal losers will meet in the third and fourth place earlier at 13h00.

  1. Are these cockroach players WHAT YOU CALL BIG GUNS? Is this the last assignment for WERASON NYIRENDA before SAMUEL etto takes OVER?

  2. Wada is a problem. Kamanga grew cold feet after making noise to reshuffle the bench following Wadas failure to qualify team 2 Russia. Those are not big guns -they are still in development.

  3. ONE WONDERS THESE BALLS AND ARROWS TO BE CALLED BIG GUNS. PLEASE WHEN IS WADA STEPPING DOWN , DO YOU WANT US TO DO A KA Mugabe on YOU? LEAVE ROOM FOR EITHER CHICKEN OR SAMUEL ETTO!!!!
