The excitement in Zambia is palpable as the country’s national team, fondly called “Chipolopolo,” gears up for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations. And in today’s training session, the team’s coach, Avram Grant, had some inspiring words for Zambian footballers both at home and abroad.
Speaking to reporters, Grant declared that the door was wide open for every talented Zambian player who had the three vital ingredients required to represent their country with pride: quality, passion, and the will to win. It was clear that Grant was not concerned with a player’s location or club status; all that mattered was their commitment to playing their best and bringing glory to Zambia.
This message from the national coach is sure to resonate with footballers across the country, many of whom have long dreamed of donning the Chipolopolo jersey and making their mark on the international stage. With this open-door policy, Grant is sending a powerful message of inclusivity and support to the entire Zambian football community.
