Preview: Zambia-Kuwait

Share

Zambia tomorrow face Kuwait in an international friendly in Cairo at Petrojet stadium.

The game will mark coach Dario Bonetti’s ninth game in charge as he seeks his fifth win on the bench since taking charge in July.

Zambia will also have a score to settle against Kuwait who beat them 2-1 in in the two sides first-ever meeting also in friendly match this time played in Kuwait City in 1997 under Roald Paulsen.

And for once, Faz has seamlessly mobilized almost all key players for the match with only two regulars namely Chris and Felix Katongo excused due to club and family commitments.

Bonetti has also kept faith in home-based players Allan Mukuka,
Billy Mwanza, Dennis Banda and Kennedy Mudenda who were key in Zambia’s Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup campaign.

Defender Emmanuel Mbola goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene plus midfielders Rainford Kalaba and Isaac Chansa are all available for the game while Bonetti should hand a senior debut to Zesco United and Under-23 striker Chileshe Kangwa.
