The selection of Lazarous Kambole in Zambia’s final 27 man squad for AFCON qualifiers has stirred controversy amongst national team fans. Despite being out of form, Kambole has been selected over players like Moses Phiri and Alex Ng’onga, who have been performing exceptionally well.
Fans have taken to social media to express their disappointment, with many questioning the coach’s decision to pick Kambole. Some fans have even started a petition, urging the Football Association of Zambia to reconsider the squad selection.
Kambole, who currently plays for Zesco United, has been struggling to find his form, and his inclusion in the squad has left many wondering whether his past performances were the main reason for his selection.
