The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has confirmed the date of Chipolopolo’s 2023 AFCON Group H qualifier home game against Comoros.
FAZ spokesperson told LT Sports that Chipolopolo will host Comoros on June 11 at National Heroes Stadium in Lusaka.
The game will be a match-day-two fixture after kicking off away to Cote d’Ivoire that is tentatively set for June 4 in Abidjan.
Points against 2023 AFCON hosts Cote d’Ivoire will not count in Group H because they are classified as friendlies.
Lesotho complete Group H and will face Zambia this September in a Group H doubleheader.
Meanwhile, this will be Zambia and Comoros third -ever meeting since they clashed in the 2012 AFCON qualifiers.
Chipolopolo beat Comoros 4-0 on September 5, 2010 and won 2-1 away in the final leg exactly a year later on September 4 en route to finishing top of Group C.
They will play in Lusaka again? That’s a cursed city. How can you win when stadium is full of Kachasu fans? Anything with Lusaka is no good.
Play all international games in Ndola.
Who sets the date is it FAZ OR CAF?
@ Taliban CAF gives you a period of time then the home teams pick the dates they want within that period.
