The Chipolopolo’s schedule includes back-to-back encounters against Morocco and Tanzania, with the team facing Morocco away on June 7 before returning home to host Tanzania four days later at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola. These matches will be pivotal in determining the team’s progression in the World Cup qualifiers and will require a high level of performance and resilience from the players.

This selection process will undoubtedly be a tough decision for the coaching staff, given the talent and potential of the players at their disposal. However, it is crucial in ensuring that the best-suited team is assembled to face the challenges posed by formidable opponents in the qualifiers.
