The Norwagian Football Team is expected to arrive on Friday ahead of the international friendly match against Zambia this Saturday at Levy Mwanawasa stadium in Ndola.
Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) Communications officer Erick Mwanza confirmed the development at a press briefing in Lusaka today.
At the same briefing, Multi Choice Zambia Public Relations Manager Marlon Kamanda announced that his institution will beam the match between Zambian and Norway live on Super Sport 11 and on Goal TV selected spots.
Mwanza however reaffirmed that the Chipolopolo has intensified its preparations in readiness for the most important friendly game against Norway.
This will be the last international friendly match that the Chipolopolo will be playing before the team finally travels to South Africa to set base ahead of the AFCON tournament which begins on the 19th of January.
And Mwanza has said Coach Herve Renard dropped veteran defender Chintu Kampamba due to an injury he sustained during the friendly match against Tanzania.
Mwanza’s remarks come amidst controversy among soccer fans in the country who wondered why Chintu Kampamba was omitted from the final AFCON squad when he was in good form.
Meanwhile, Mwanza today unveiled the new Chipolopolo jersey the team will be using during the AFCON tournament in South Africa.
Mwanza said the new jersey has distinct features than the previous one which he said will not be easy to be replicated.
ZANIS
You have made a team now,so no excuse for loosing..
Norway beat south africa.
Our hearts are with you Chipolopolo. I have a feeling you will pull it again and make us even more proud. You have indeed matured and always play a technical and highly entertaining game. My advice is to please focus on scoring goals and more goals. We want to demonstrate to our detractors who insinuate that we got AFCON by sheer fluke. This is an insult and of course it’s a blatant untruth. I have always believed that Chipolopolo is the soccer heavyweight champion of Africa. By retaining this trophy you will have proved this point to a T. Now go ahead and beat them all, especially the boastful Super Eagles.
Please on the Caption don’t say President, just say FAZ boss, he is not a president ONLY MICHAEL CHILUFYA SATA IS A PRESIDENT
There is no supersport 11, its from SS10 to ESPN.
Spelling! Its “Norwegian” and not what you have written.
What are the gate charges?
Malinso, Please do not take us back to the Kaunda days of hero worshipping individuals. The title for the head of FAZ has been president for as long as I csn remember. Are you telling us that all organisations such as Lion Clubs whose heads are called presidents should drop the title? This is dictatorship of the worst kind, but we Zambians are not for it.
th comments ar wrtn by a person like u(bloger). hw come u a saying dictatorship? he is th president of FAZ nd sata th repblcn president.
Easy does it…President Sata is called His Excellency the President. The FAZ President is Definitely Not His Excellency…
“…..the match between Zambian and Norway live on Super Sport 11 and on Goal TV selected spots…..”
LT no wonder pipo condemn u owez, Mr editor please this is an online publication which can be read anywhere in the world. Educate your reporters and yourself on how to do professional Journalism not this naimweeeee. There is no supersport 11, GOTV is not goal TV and supersport Select is not Selected Spots, the match between Zambia and Norway not Zambian….!!!!!! Shame
you my friend should educate yourself even more and realise that most articles that appear on this site are copied as they are from other media sources like ZANIS in this instance and LT does not edit or alter these articles in order to avoid plagiarism or copyright infringement!!
so if you want to criticise anyone criticise zanis,
Guys please get a grip, you’re not gonna be waseting your time and people’s time talking about Kalu been referred to as President of Faz, seriously what is wrong with that!
President means head of state in countries without a King or Queen and it also says, head of a society, institution, etc as far as I and other people know FAZ is one of them.
Guys if you seriously want to help with issues in Zambia that will go a long way to help our beautiful country develop or improve services, maybe we need to look at things around us, like why on earth in the modern times should you get home and there is no running water, streets are dirty, street kids all over the place,run down schools, hospitals etc I personally think we need to start looking at such things and maybe try and make…
Of our best to help our Goverment or the local government, we not only helping our selfves but making it better for our kids and their kids…. To develop we need to work together.
I’ll get the ball rolling….. I think we need to have or start what is called whistle blowing, if you see any body involved in corruption report to the relevant authorities maybe that way everyone will be thinking twice before taking a bribe and can be anything poor service, let’s be creative especially with smartphones around you can capture the evidence and post it on LT…..
I didn’t know they play soccer in Norway. Oh! wow!
This is probably a reserve side, so we shouldn’t even make a big deal out of it
This shows how iritarate zambia is. Starting from the heading of the story, one is supposed to trace a mistake. Even arguing about the word President now. Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Hahaha iritarate?!
Eric, checked shirt, checked neck tie and a stripped suit, you look like salads, baku Chipata sure!!!
I just like the way you worship your Boss, King Kalu, ulemonako nokufwala naiwe!!!
On a serious note, Norwegian boys are organised, very defensive and quick on the ball. We should just beat them to raise the moral among soccer fans and also boost confidence of players, start with a lethal scoring combination and then control the game as they tire out in the heat. It is winter in Norway and very cold, Cape Town where they played at hight is also mild, so they will be introduced to real African sun in Ndola!!
Ah! guys ni ma fooling ya bwanji aya. Ati you look like salads. You’ve really made my day. Hehehe…..
The Norwegian football team… as if Norway has only one football team!!! The Norwegian NATIONAL football team…
Go mighty zambia never giveup God is not yet done with you nor matter what we gonna defend the cup (watch this zambia 2 nigeria 0 ) (zambia 4 ethiopia 1) ethiopia 1 nigeria 1) God bless zambia.
