Herve Renard has named 26 for the October 15 international match against Brazil in which FC Utrecht forward Jacob Mulenga makes a return after recovering from his injury which saw him miss Zambia’s last 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Ghana last September.
Announcing the squad at a press briefing at Football House FAZ Spokesperson Erick Mwanza said Chipolopolo would be taking the historic match seriously as the Association and technical staff worked on “regenerating the squad to position it in good stead for future competition matches.”
The match will be played on Tuesday 15th October with the match kicking off at 20:30hours local time (14:30hours Zambian Time).
The Full Squad:
Kennedy Mweene, Joshua Titima, Davies Nkausu, Bronson Chama, Stoppila Sunzu, Hichani Himonde, Chongo Kabaso, Emmanuel Mbola, Kondwani Mtonga, Nathan Sinkala, Rainford Kalaba, Fwayo Tembo, Bruce Musakanya, Mukuka Mulenga, Chisamba Lungu, Christopher Katongo, Jacob Mulenga, Emmanuel Mayuka, Roger Kola, James Chamanga, Collins Mbesuma, Chintu Kampamba, Christopher Munthali, Noah Chivuta, William Njobvu, Joseph Musonda

That was exactly pipo were thinking in those days about David that he could not kill Goliath. You know what happened to the surprise of many,David did it and he decapitated his head and his body was exposed to vouchers to feed on. Zambia can and will conquer Brazil the KK 11 did it by beating Italy in the 1988 game where Italy was exterminated 4-0 by Zambia.

wow. I know my team and i believe in my team. Zambia will make history once again.People may say what they want about the National team but one thing is for sure, we have improved and we are capable white washing the Brazilian team. The Brazilian Coach is no fool to accept to play Zambia if its a weak team.He knows that if they can play Zambia and beat us, they are capable of beating any African team.

Let’s keep the same team so that the guys know how to coordinate. We should not change just because we didn’t qualify for the world cup. Good sellection.

Useless coach! For Gods sake, we are now preparing for AFCON 2015 and World Cup 2018, why call players like James Chamanga, Chriss katongo, Chintu kampamba, Collins Mbesuma, Joseph Musonda, Kalaba and Noah Chinuta. Its time we started phasing out these players and bring in new blood. This friendly is meant to identify new stars for our future chipolopolo team.
Isaac
October 1, 2013 at 3:24 pm
Good points but does it mean from now on we have no use with the players you have just mentioned? What about the tournaments between now and 2015 can’t we use Mbesuma or Kalaba or indeed many other that you’ve mentioned? What i know is that these players have to be used along side the new ones until such a time when their services shall no longer be useful.

Look at the Brazilians, their team is now made up of fresh legs. This transformation took them a period of about three years. Their young team has blended so well and its ready for 2014. We need start identifying and developing new talent especially when it comes to strikers. I hope the coach will start with Rodger Kola, Jacob Mulenga and Fwayo Tembo in front. I am really looking forward to that combination. Kalaba, Chriss, Musonda, Mweene, Mbesuma, Kampamba, Chamanga, Chivunta, Mayuka, and HH should just come in as substitutes when need arises.

You missed Brazils point. It is not about helping us build a future team but a team to give a game like was given to Ghana recently and also Afcon 2012. Wake up. There is always conditions to such freindlies. Do you want the repeat of the UK Zambia/Ghana freindly? Noooooooooooo!

JJ, Brazil are not looking for a team to beat 4-1 like Man City Manure U game no, but African oppsoition and good opposition at that! See the sense?

Stars are seen when the sky is dark. Look at how we discovered new talent when our football was in the dark after the Garbon desaster. Brazil will wire us 6 – 0 if our coach features those old legs.

Renard is always critised when selecting players but when the same team win everyone is on his or her toils shoutin a goal, remember it makes a mile for someone to smile.

Chintu Kampamba is a morale booster because of his discipline, leadership and maturity that he commmands in camp. You need some people like that. Look at the West-African Teams, they bring in old (Players)guys just to be in the terrences as morale booster. We saw this at Afcon in South Africa. No Big Zambian old players were even near the stadia but might have been busy with personal issues.
The stage will do good to the Zambian Team if they give Brazil a good run for their win. More openings will be available to the Team to be palying other bigger World Teams. Good Luck.
