Chipolopolo has secured two high profile friendly matches for this June.
Zambia will play both dates away against Morocco and defending AFCON champions Cameroon in the two side’s pre-tournament preparations.
FAZ general secretary Adrian Kashala said the friendly’s will be played during a week-long camp at the invitation of Morocco.
“The Royal Moroccan Football Federation will host the Chipolopolo boys from June 6 – 17 and stage an international friendly match on June 16 against the Herve Renard drilled side,” Kashala said.
“During the same camp, Zambia will face Cameroon on June 9, 2019 in Madrid with another international friendly match against Gambia on the cards set for June 12, 2019.”
The development will see Zambia’s A side assembled for the trip while the home-based team will be away in South Africa to participate in the COSAFA Cup Durban is hosting from May 25 to June 8.
However,FAZ has yet to disclose who will be in charge of the friendly trip with interim coach Aggrey Chiyangi already overseeing COSAFA Cup camp over the last fortnight.
Zambia is participating in the Afcon by helping other teams prepare. It’s Cameroon and Morocco that have secured friendlies, Ndanga Kamanga can’t organize such games he doesn’t have what it takes

Its a pity the dates coincide with the COSAFA tournament in South Africa. Looking at the 6TH and 8TH June the dates are too close. While the idea of mobilizing two National teams seams workable, it may create some complications in my view. I don’t know which team is Zambia “A” and Zambia “B” at the movement as some players picked to play in the COSAFA are still eligible and capable of playing in the so called Zambia “A”. Then the selection of another caretaker Coach, this may lead to confusion and even poor performance. If I had my own way I would negotiate with the Moroccan F.A. so that the team travels straight from South African to Morocco and joined by the professionals who will be identified and allow Agrey Chiyangi and Numba Mumamba continue with the rebuilding excersize.
