Home-based Chipolopolo Heads For Morocco Camp

Chipolopolo this Friday night depart for a ten-day transit training camp in Morocco ahead of their opening match in the 2022 Qatar FIFA World Cup Group B qualifier away to Mauritania.

Coach Beston Chambeshi is taking with him all his 22 home-based call-ups who returned for the second week of training camp last Saturday after cutting the side from the 30 players who had earlier reported for the first week of camp in Lusaka.

Chipolopolo will be stationed in Morocco until August 31 when they head to Mauritania.

All the foreign-based call-ups will join Zambia in Moroccan at their training base in the city of Marrakesh.

But one foreign-based player Roderick Kabwe is already in Friday night’s travelling party.

Kabwe has been training with the local team since the initial week of camp in Lusaka on August 5 as he fights for a move away from demoted South African PSL club Black Leopards.

Meanwhile, Chipolopolo kickoff their Group B qualifying campaign away against Mauritania on September 3 in Nouakchott.

Thereafter, Zambia will return home to play Tunisia on September 7 at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola.
