The Chipolopolo CHAN team has secured a compacted pair of friendly games each against South Sudan and Ethiopia this week.
This week’s dates against South Sudan will be Chipolopolo’s debut against Africa’s youngest nation following continental club encounters involving Zesco United and Green Buffaloes.
Chipolopolo coach Micho has named a 23-meember team with three additions to the provisional CHAN team that beat Malawi 1-0 in a friendly on October 7 in Lusaka.
Chipolopolo will assemble in Lusaka on Tuesday, October 20 and depart for Addis Ababa where the four matches will be played between October 22-26.
Zambia will face Ethiopia on October 22 and play their second game against South Sudan on October 24.
Chipolopolo will face the hosts again on October 24 and wrap up its grueling program on October 26 against South Sudan.
Chipolopolo is using the match to have a test drive of East African flavor before their opening Group D match against Tanzania in January at CHAN that Cameroon will host from January 16 to February 7.
2016 tournaments fourth place finishers Guinea and Namibia complete Group D.
