Kola Joins CHAN Team

Share

-Striker Roger Kola has joined the Zambia national team in Kitwe where they are in training camp preparing for their CHAN final leg qualifier against Angola this Saturday at Konkola Stadium in Chililabombwe.

The Zanaco striker joined training camp on Monday after a 3 week-long trial spell in Sweden at Helsingborgs.

However, coach Herve Renard has said Kola is not assured of making the final 18 for Saturdays game until his fitness is ascertained.

Meanwhile Renard is still hoping Lusaka Dynamos defender Hichani Himoonde who has been sidelined with an knee injury he sustained last Saturday in a Barclays Cup 2nd and 3rd playoff match against Green Buffaloes at Woodlands Stadium will be fit for the CHAN game against Angola.

And Angola are due in on Thursday in Ndola from Launda ahead of their final leg clash this weekend.

Zambia lead Angola 1-0 from the first leg played on November 30 in Luanda and need just a draw to qualify for the inaugural tournament to be hosted by Ivory Coast from February 22 to March 8.

CHAN is a new Caf tournament for national teams comprising wholly of home-based players.

LUSAKA DYNAMOS MIDWEEK FIXTURE POSTPONED

-Lusaka Dynamos’ delayed Week 25 game against Zesco United rescheduled for Wednesday has yet again been postponed.

Dynamos have over five players away with both the senior and junior teams on CHAN qualifiers and SADC Games duty.

However, Dynamos will play demoted Green Eagles this weekend in their final Week 30 match away in Kabwe before facing Zesco next weekend.

Dynamos are currently in 10th place on the table with 37 points from 28 matches with two league games in hand and need just a draw in their final match matches to avoid demotion.

  1. Lets have a bit of banter. You will talk about Zambia day in day out. I can put my house on it. Zed will always be Zed. Tell you what, evey time one goes back home, they notice a change. Now the change is always negative.

    When I left Zed ages ago, there were roads in Luanshya, all you get when you get back are foot paths. lol!

    Cheer up! Zambia chalo cesu, despite going to the ogs!

  2. I admire the courage of Renard about Kola. I don’t see him making it for the final team unless otherwise. When he returned from his globtroting he refused to pick up calls from the team manager. Now he is desperate for a national team cap as it may be needed in the event that he makes a move abroad. Besides that he may get a sympathy cap as we seem to have no depth in terms of strikers. otherwise all the best for our boys as they will face Angola who want a win. We hope they won’t underate the team like what the U20 did to Egypt when they only needed a draw to qualify. Go Zambia Go!!

  3. I Hope these chaps will be serious this time around coz we are no longer interested in comedy. We already have enough comedy from U20, PF, the judiciary, X Chungu etc. Please spare us the agony of seeing you loose to Angola this saturday.

  4. [-x if you have no contribution, please just keep quite rather than typing NUMBER… i think Kola has got the ability to become a great striker. I have seen one or two of his finishing touches and they have been clinical. Ofcourse except in the game against Swaziland.

  5. So comments starts at#23 , those b4 are lost brothers and sisters.Back to the topic,our coach is alright the problem is with our players.They need a little more effort and courage.Lets not end up like South Africa who had one of the best coaches in the world, who resigned because of too much talking by fans and no serious commitment by players.

  6. is soccer the only sport in zambia? lets talk about basketball. lusaka city council looters won the southern zone championship and are fav to win the nationals.
