ASANOVIC JOINS COSAFA SQUAD AHEAD OF THE SEMI FINAL MATCH

Chipolopolo coach Aljosa Asanovic took to the pitch with his lads, hours after linking up with them in Durban at the ongoing Hollywoodbets Cosafa Cup.

Asanovic and his European assistants had remained behind to sort out their visa entry into South Africa and missed the quarterfinal match that the Chipolopolo won 5-4 on post-match penalties. The match ended 1-1 in regulation time.

The Croat joined the team on Wednesday evening and did not waste time to drill the squad that faces the Teranga Lions of Senegal on Friday in the semifinals at the iconic Moses Mabhida Stadium.

Zambia trained at the Escombe Training Club.

Only the men’s team participated in the tournament. The team managed to reach the quarter finals despite one pair forfeiting the points as the team arrived late due to Covid19 challenges experienced when crossing the Kazungula Border on the Botswana side.

We urge all players, coaches, administrators and affiliates need to get a Covid19 vaccine. We will soon engage the Ministry of Health to start providing free Covid19 services at the venues for all league games so that we have 100 percent vaccinated ZAVA members.

We invite individuals with brilliant ideas on how best clubs and the mother body can raise more funds to approach the secretariat.

7. Outstanding Awards.

We are aware that some clubs are owed money. ZAVA is committed to meet its obligations and the teams will be paid when money will be available.

The board will soon announce the prize money.

CONFIRMED SQUAD: LOCAL CHIPOLOPOLO NAMED!

■ Asanovic ropes in Africa Cup winner Chamanga James to mentor young strikers

*ROAD TO IVORY COAST 2023: Asanovic Names 23 Bullets for Local Camp

Chipolopolo coach Aljosa Asanovic has named 23 players for a local camp ahead of the Ivory Coast 2023 Africa Cup of Nations Group H match against the Elephants on June 3.

Asanovic has romped in 42-year-old James Chamanga who will also be part of the backroom staff to mentor young players.
The 2012 Africa Cup of Nations winner helped Red Arrows to their first title since 2004.

In an interview with the FAZ media, Asanovic says the local camp is a last-minute check up on prospective inclusions for the final squad that will head to West Africa for an international camp preceding the June 3 AFCON encounter.

“Our preparations are on course for the game against Ivory Coast on June 3. We start with the local camp where we are looking at the local players and in touch with foreign players whose leagues are still active,” Asanovic said.

“We know that local players also have a clogged calendar ahead with the CHAN and Cosafa that are coming up. Most importantly, the best of the local players will go with us to Ivory Coast and be part of the June 7 home match against Comoros Islands.”

Asanovic says he was also hoping that Chamanga’s presence will help the young players appreciate the rigours of professional football.

“The guy is a top professional, one who many young players can learn from. He will be with us to help show young players the way,” he said.

The local camp kicks off on Tuesday with foreign based players joining at different stages in line with the conclusion of their various leagues.

The Chipolopolo will not be heading to Doha given the unavailability of the bulk of the players the coach needs for the Ivory Coast assignment.
