Zambia begin their 2008 Cecafa Challenge Cup campaign on Wednesday when they face Djibouti at 12:30 in the two sides opening Group B match in Jinja, Uganda.
Wednesdays clash will be the first time Zambia and Djibouti will be meeting at senior level although the two countries have met before in other age-group competition.
Peter Kaumba’s Under-23 side crushed their counterparts from Djibouti 10-0 in a 2008 Beijing Olympics Games preliminary in a one-legged friendly played in Lusaka on October 7, 2006.
Meanwhile, coach Herve Renard will be hoping for better fortunes in the Cecafa Cup.
This is after failing to make a big impression in his tournament debut as trainer at the Cosafa Challenge Cup last August in South Africa where Zambia finished third.
The Frenchman has a fairly strong squad that will be led by the prolific Zanaco striker Given Singuluma who is one of two squad players from Zambia’s last outing at Cecafa in 2006 in this entourage.
The other is Zesco United striker Jonas Sakuwaha but his place in the starting liner-up is sure to go to Roger Kola.
A much improved performance is expected from Kola who was very rusty against Angola in the 2009 CHAN qualifier played in Chililabombwe three weeks ago.
Veteran defender Elijah Tana will be key at the back that will be missing injured Lusaka Dynamos fullback Hichani Himoonde while William Njobvu and Kennedy Mudenda are set to start in midfield.
Zambia for life!!

this must be a walk over game boys :d/
Due to concerns by Geologist, Canada, and 108. Dobo Banton(9th).LLB, I will be using the username G~la_fj in place of Maestro Hhehhehhehhe for some time.
I also wish to send you all my happy prosperous New Year 2009 to you all old and would-be new LT bloggers.
Having written that, I would like to announce, formally, that I will be very very rare on LT in the year 2009. This is because I am re-mounting operation ‘become Chess Grand Master’ and also I will be working for personal development following the advice from UPND spokesman Zambezi MP Charles Kakoma. I may not be available later in the day to do this since I have been invited somewhere to celebrate New 2009.
Be blessed y’all.
#10 continued.
I will definately miss you all and continue doing a noble cause for Zambia. Someday we will just make it as a Nation that will have moved from low stature to one that will be riding on high, higher, heights.
By God’s grace, I hope to make it into the New Year 2009. I will be praying for you all and our country at large.
Please, remember who you are always and take care of yourselves.
With heart-felt love,
Mugungulu H. Mwaanga as Maestro Hhehhehhehhe.
Zambia needs to start beating such small teams with good margins. Maestro, we wont miss you.
Have a convention and choose a better presidential candidate(dont use wealth status)
UPND will only rule Zambia, if a bemba, starts getting some decent support from their regional stronghold.
from previuos elections, Lozi and Easteners really impressed me because they showed they could vote for anyone.
Zambia 10 Imputi 0

Bonse,
Watching Herve Renard lead Zambia, I must say am impressed with the man. Football is about good physical and technical preps. He has always been emphasizing that. He also unerstands the consequences of underrating opponents.
That said, Zambia must aim for a good result over Djibouti as they set their sights on CHAN 2009. I foresee a resurgeny of Zambian football supremacy on the African scene.
Forever Chipolopolo.
Who knows the results
LT knows,give us results LT.
