Zambia’s second friendly on their three-match away tour against Gambia in Morocco has been canceled.
The match was scheduled for June 12 in Marrakech but has been cancelled due to operational reasons.
“Zambia will not play Gambia as earlier planned because the West African side will face Nigeria on Wednesday,” FAZ general secretary Adrian Kashala said.
“But, I can confirm that as a replacement, Zambia will face Cote d’Ivoire on June 19, in Abu Dhabi.”
Zambia has already played one match against Cameroon on June 9 in Madrid where they lost 2-1.
Beston Chambeshi’s side will face hosts Morocco on June 16 in Marrakech before heading to United Arab Emirates for their final friendly against Cote d’Ivoire.

Well, the replacement is not bad. In fact, I would rather have Zambia play Ivory Coast than Gambia if Zambia really wants to get more out these friendly games. Cameroon, Morocco, Ivory Coast, that’s not a bad assessment tour.
I hope it is tulu. You will hear tomorrow that all games are canceled
