CHIPOLOPOLO players have exuded confidence ahead of their crucial Group A clash against Morocco in the AfCON 2025, insisting that the North African giants, though formidable on paper, are beatable.
Midfielder Wilson Chisala spoke candidly to the press, saying the team is well-prepared and has no fear of the hosts despite the intimidating atmosphere expected at the King Mohammed V Stadium.
“Morocco is an overrated team but it’s a beatable team and we are ready for that. The game is tough but we are prepared to face them and we have nothing to fear. Realistically, the pressure is there but we are ready; there is nothing to fear,” said Chisala.
Meanwhile, midfielder David Hamansenya was equally optimistic, stating that Zambia will compete fiercely regardless of the home crowd advantage.
“We are here to compete, no matter how many supporters Morocco will have. It will be a tough game but we have no pressure, we are ready to play against Morocco. We are well prepared,” said Hamansenya.
Zambia enters the match tonight needing a win to keep their round of 16 hopes alive.
The team currently sits on two points after a goalless draw against Comoros, while Morocco leads the group with four points.
Mali is also in contention with two points, meaning that the outcome of this fixture could be decisive in determining which teams advance.
Tonight, all eyes will be on Zambia as they attempt to punch above their weight and secure victory against one of Africa’s traditionally strongest sides.

Useless.
You impose a useless person as FAZ chairman simply because he has birthright qualifications and you expect results? Mark my words, Morocco will embarrass us and expose what is wrong with tribal appointments. Ka Keith is a good lawyer, he knows nothing about football. Same thing as Hakainde, a good cattle farmer, but useless corrupt and tribalist president.
REJECT TRIBALISM, CORRUPTION AND OPPRESSION.
VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.
Can you say the same now. Look at the line up, Sakalq, Daka, Musonda, Banda etc then Indigo will come and say ebateya bola kaili. You saw for yourself yesterday.
The same names won us AFCON when we had a FAZ president that knew football.
The same names today are playing, but we have a FAZ president that was forced on us because of his surname.
Can you tell the difference?
REJECT TRIBALISM, CORRUPTION AND OPPRESSION.
VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.
