It’s interesting to look back at the history of matches between the Zambian National Team and Lesotho, dating all the way back to 1972. In the 11 encounters they’ve had, Zambia has generally held the upper hand, with 7 wins compared to Lesotho’s 2, along with 2 draws. Let’s take a closer look at their head-to-head record since then:
30th April 1972: Lesotho 0 – 0 Zambia (FIFA World Cup)
04th June 1972: Zambia 6 – 1 Lesotho (FIFA World Cup)
08th August 1988: Lesotho 0 – 9 Zambia (Blair Trophy)
02nd March 1997: Lesotho 0 – 2 Zambia (COSAFA CUP)
01st March 2000: Zambia 2 – 0 Lesotho (International Friendly)
11th June 2000: Lesotho 3 – 1 Zambia (COSAFA CUP)
24TH June 2001: Lesotho 1 – 2 Zambia (COSAFA)
24th March 2013: Lesotho 1 – 1 Zambia (FIFA World Cup)

21st June 2016: Lesotho 2 – 3 Zambia (COSAFA CUP)
08TH July 2021: Zambia 1 – 2 Lesotho (COSAFA CUP)
These results showcase Zambia’s overall dominance in their encounters with Lesotho, with some notable victories and a few draws. However, it’s evident that football can be unpredictable, as seen in Lesotho’s victories in 2000 and 2021. Despite the historical records, every match brings its own challenges, and both teams must bring their best to the field to secure a favorable result.
