WEEKEND SCORECARD: Chipolopolo Arrive in Niger For Friendly Date

Share

Chipolopolo midfielder Cletus Chama believes this week’s West African friendly Tour is the perfect platform ahead of next month’s 2021 AFCON qualifiers.

Aggrey Chiyangi’s side arrived in Niger on Monday on the first stop of a two-match friendly tour that will see them take on Benin in their last game.

“They are quite important, as we all know, we have our AFCON qualifiers coming up so the friendly’s will help us gel to work together, make us united and focused for what is ahead of us,” Chama said.

Zambia will play Niger on October 10 in Niamey and Benin on October 13 in Cotonou ahead of their 2012 AFCON Group H doubleheader qualifier against champions defending Algeria away on November 11 and Zimbabwe at home on November 16.
“Obviously and the most important one is to win these friendly’s. We won’t say that because it is a friendly we won’t win. We are competitors and we are here to obviously win, that is our focus,” Chama said.

“Apart from that, we also want to see where we are lagging or how far we have gone in terms of readiness towards the AFCON qualifiers that are coming up next month.”

And Chama said the friendly’s are also very critical for the fourteen home-based players in the team ahead of their 2020 CHAN final round, last leg qualifier against eSwatini in Lusaka on October 19.

Zambia beat eSwatini 1-0 away in the first leg on September 22 in Manzini.

“To them it is also part of preparations towards the second leg of the CHAN qualifiers and my word of encouragement to the team is we need to be focused because we also need to qualify for CHAN and should use this platform genuinely,” the midfielder from Tanzanian club Simba SC said.
