The players who traveled today for Libya via Rome include three South African-based players namely goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene plus defenders Noah Chivuta and Kampamba Chintu.
Also in the team were Rainford Kalaba who has just signed with TP Mazembe in DR Congo and his future team mates at the club Emmanuel Mbola, Hichani Himoonde and Stophilla Sunzu.
Clubless goalkeeper Kalililo Kakonje is also in the travelling party.
The team also consisted of four home-based players that include the Zesco United trio of defenders Billy Mwanza and Nyambe Mulenga and goalkeeper Jacob Banda.
Jimmy Chisenga from Red Arrows completes the list of home-based players in the team.
The team is being led by newly appointed Faz vice president Bonny Mwamelo who replaced Munaile who quit on Friday.
Zambia are expected to spend two days in Rome starting Tuesday where they will be joined by coach Dario Bonetti and the European based call-ups before heading to Tripoli.
Zambia lead Group C on three points after beating bottom placed Comoros Islands 4-0 on September 5 in Lusaka while Libya are second on one point after a scoreless draw away to Mozambique on the same day.

Pafwa abantu pashala abantu. The work must continue. Go Zambia, go Mwamelo! No one is indispensible!
Morally speaking, Kalusha should step down b4 the situation worsens. What is happening at FAZ is the first of its kind. Kalusha has lamentably failed to the disappointment of those folks who campaigned and voted for him. Where does he even get the courage to preside over an executive which does not support him? his moral fiber might have been damage by his selfiness and ego!
Kalu and company shudnt pretend that things are OK at Football House, the sooner they relize that our game is in a MESS the better.
NSCZ STARTS SITTING TODAY TO REVIEW EVENTS AT FOOTBALL HOUSE. WE HAVE READ THE FAZ LAWBOOK ITS CLEAR FAZ STANDS DISSOLVED AS IT CANT FORM QORUM NOW WHEN SPORTS CONCIL MOVES IN THATS GOVT INTERFERENCE ACCORDING TO FIFA AND WE WILL BE BANNED BY BLATTER AND FIFA. GALU KNOWS THIS AND WILL USE IT AS WEAPON TO REMAIN IN FAZ SO HE EATS. PROBLEM IS EVEN RB HAS SOFT SPOT FOR GALU
kalusha is a grade 12 drop out and semi illiterate to run the affairs of FAZ. kalu failed in holland and ran away bcos of child support. he has failed to built even a small cabin in zambia. he is married to an old rich boer white cow. he is john solye bwali depends on faz for deals to survive. he is as good as dead without faz. he will go down fighting to keep his job even if it risks fifa banning us. greed
FIFA should ban Zambia for more than 5 years should Kalu leave office prematurely. He has a term running till 2012. Kalu should influence FIFA to impose sunctions on Zambia PERIOD
