Zambia National Football Team coach Avram Grant has named a very strong 24-man provisional squad for the upcoming four nations’ tournament at Bingu National Stadium next week.
The tournament will see Malawi, Zambia, Kenya and Zimbabwe facing off during the FIFA international break.
Several of the players that featured for the Chipolopolo Boys at the just concluded Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast have been included in the squad, including Leicester City’s Patson Daka.
The tournament will be used as part of preparation for the June round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
The Malawi tournament will take place from March 18-26 and will see each of the four nations play at least two games.
The Chipolopolo will be away to Morocco before hosting Tanzania at home in Group E encounters during the window June 3-11.
