Heroes Stadium to host Comoros AFCON match

By Mercy Chewe
The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has confirmed that Chipolopolo will use National Heroes Stadium in Lusaka for the 2023 AFCON Group H qualifier home game against Comoros.

FAZ spokesperson Sydney Mungala said Chipolopolo will host Comoros on June 11 at National Heroes Stadium in Lusaka.

This will be Zambia’s second match in the 2023 AFCON qualifying campaign.

The first match will be against Cote d’Ivoire on June 4 away in Abidjan.

Meanwhile, points against 2023 AFCON hosts Cote d’Ivoire will not count in Group H because they are classified as friendlies.

Zambia will face Lesotho in the other Group H match later in September.
