The Zambia Voluntary Soccer Fans Association (ZAVBOSOFA) in Luapula Province has urged soccer fans to continue supporting the Senior National Football Team.
In an interview with ZANIS sports in Kawambwa today , Provincial ZAVOSOFA
chairperson, Godfrey Chikumbi said fans should pray for the national team in a do or
die crucial match against South Africa.
Chikumbi said the team is still in the race to qualify hence the appeal for all fans
to be optimistic.
He said that football is a game of chances adding that anything can happen for
Zambia to carry the day.
This follows Zambia’s one all draw with Chad in a game played at Konkola stadium in
Chililabombwe at the weekend.
After last Saturday’s results, Zambia is still second of the group 11 Africa
qualifying group with 8 points while South Africa leads the group with 10 points
after being held one all by Congo Brazzaville.
Chad, who gained a point from their last match and Congo Brazzaville are out of
contention for qualifying to the 2008 Ghana continental football.
Zambia would have defeat the ‘Bafana Bafana’ at the their turf by a convincing win
to sail to the finals. ÂÂ
Asked whether Zambia can beat South Africa at their home ground Chikumbi said he was optimistic Zambia will win despite football being is a game of win. or loss.
Other fans however expressed displeasure at the poor performance of the Chipolopolo
boys in their recent encounter against Chad.
However, they said they are in full support of the senior national team. They urged
the team to put up a spirited fight in their last game in Johannesburg.
