After the drama of Thursday which saw Chipolopolo blocked from entering the Baba Yara stadium and training in the car park, Zambian fans who have travelled to Ghana risk watching the crucial match from their hotel rooms or bars as the Ghana football authorities have not availed any tickets.
Ghana football association has only given FAZ and government officials in Kumasi two VIP tickets and even with the Zambians asking for more which they have offered to pay for, they have received none as the kick off fast approaches.
On Thursday, Zambia was forced to train from the car park after Ghana authorities locked the team outside the baba Yara stadium in Kumasi on Thursday evening. But the Chipololpolo training session on the concrete of the stadium car park was abandoned for security reasons as hordes of Ghana fans charged at the team, hitting Zambia striker James Chamamga on the head.
In what is one of the most shocking and embarrassing episodes that throw the game into shame and disrepute, Ghanian authorities locked the Zambia team out; forcing Chipolopolo to to do their pre-match work out in the stadium car park.
However, Ghanaians are blaming Zambia for the dramatic scenes ahead of a match that is set to be cracking and ill-tempered as Chipololpolo seek to hit back in the game.
And Herve Renard says Chipolopolo will be motivated to fight and win despite the dramatic events of Thursday.

FAZ should file a complaint to FIFA now before kickoff.

Why FAZ,just withdraw the whole game? write to FIFA either to postpone the match or let these thugs go unopposed. I have never seen such inhuman treatment anywhere in the football fraternity. If CAF has no teeth to bite of which they are since its president is from the same region, then engage FIFA immediately.

It’s not necessary, just paly the game period! I liked what the caoch said and I quote:
…
”And Herve Renard says Chipolopolo will be motivated to fight and win despite the dramatic events of Thursday.”

This is how a man ought to be, if you are good you are good. So for me it’s game on! Zambia 1 and nil for the id!ots!

Zambian journalists know how to twist stories. How come it was never reported in this article that Zambia showed up late for training? They were supposed to show up at 4 pm and they showed up @ 7pm. It is being reported here as if Ghana is using some foul means against Zambia which is not true.

I agree with you. The reporting is bad and makes Ghana look to be animals when it is actually not so. Please win otherwise no excuse for ill treatment. VIVA Zambia.

The Zambians were busy flirting in town enjoying the comfort of our country so they were late and they miss the time for training according to fifa rules, so the only place they could train at that moment was that place, is not that GFA force them to train there so please you guys should stop that your stupidity comments since you have no idea how it happened, i was at the stadium and i saw it myself, is quite obvious that any writer can write what they want for ****** people who just jump to conclution of what the see, nonsense

Let us not waste time insulting them. It does not benefit us in any way. Let us put everything in God’s hands. We know God doesnt want us to be insulting so why insult and then turn to him for help. For once lets do things differently and ignore what the Ghanians are doing. Lets all put the team in God’s hands.

If really the Chipolopolo were late, who caused the delay? Is it not the Ghanian authorities who denied Chipolopolo landing rights? Today it’s Zambia, tomorrow, it’s Ghana. Mark my words.

Our heavenly father, see how the chipolopolo boys are being mistreated, humiliated. Oh Lord we trust in you, show the Ghananians your power by ensuring that Zambia beats Ghana by three (3) clean goals. Lord please make the chipolopolo boys’ goals very neat and clean without any hussle. We ask this in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. We trust and believe in you.
