Striker Emmanuel Mayuka has said the whole team is looking forward to a good outing against Rwanda on Saturday when the two teams clash in a 2010 World/Africa Group C Qualifier at Konkola Stadium in Chililabombwe.
Mayuka joined the team at 17:30 in Ndola just 30 minutes after landing from his Israel base at Maccabi Tel Aviv via Johannesburg.
The Maccabi Tel Aviv striker arrived together with his namesake and Zambia teammate Emmanuel Mbola of Pyunik Yerevan of Armenia and on the same flight as the Rwanda national team.
“We are here to win and that’s the most important thing,” Mayuka said.
“To me and the rest of the team it is important to win.”
The duo were the last remaining members of the team remaining to join Zambia in camp who arrived earlier in the day on Wednesday in Ndola after flying directly from Johannesburg where the team had set-up a 2-week training camp.
Meanwhile, Rwanda coach Branko Tucak and his technical bench refused to talk to the press until Friday afternoon.
Both Zambia and Rwanda on Thursday held lunchtime training sessions at Konkola and Nchanga Stadium’s in Chililabombwe and Chingola respectively ahead of their 14:00 kickoff on Saturday.
The training at Konkola attracted a huge crowd whose highlight was Collins Mbesuma’s goal scored in a one-on-one with first choice goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene that received the biggest cheer.

The time to win the group is now. We don’t want subjection to any mathematical caiculations in the closing stages of the qualifiers. The support of the nation is total. We financed your trainig in SA and we will pay the high gate takings in Chililambombwe to show our support. We are that serious about the World Cup. So in the Rwanda Match we expect nothing but the best from each and every player who is going to wear the our national jersey. Failure to win this match will be tantamount to plunder of national resources! Worse than the MoH saga.
Twapapat make us Happy.
