Warriors squad for Zambia match named

WARRIORS coach Klaus Dieter Pagels has named an 18-man squad comprising rookies to face Zambia in an international friendly match in Lusaka on Sunday.

Zambia is marking 20 years since the April 27, 1993, plane disaster off the coast of Gabon which killed all 18 national team players, two coaches, a doctor, two Football Association officials, a journalist and five crew members.

FC Platinum striker Nelson Mazivisa and Chicken Inn captain Felix Chindungwe will be the notable stars in the team travelling to Lusaka.

FC Platinum defender Kevin Moyo has also been called up along with Chicken Inn goalkeeper Liberty Chirava, CAPS United striker Tawanda Nyamandwe, Motor Action defender Godfrey Moyo and Eric Chipeta of Hwange.

Dynamos midfielder Devon Chafa and the Black Mambas pair of winger Nicholas Alifandika and striker Last Chibwiro also made the cut.

Warriors team manager Shariff Musa said the team would go into camp on Wednesday evening and train on Thursday before leaving for Zambia on Friday.
