Chipolopolo Unveils Limited Edition Kit with a Nod to Past Glory

The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has unveiled a special, limited edition kit for the Zambia National Team as they participate in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast. The Chipolopolo Boys will debut the new kit in their opening match against the Democratic Republic of Congo in San Pedro.

The unique design of the kit features a single star embroidered above the FAZ logo, symbolizing Zambia’s historic triumph at the 2012 AFCON tournament. This star serves as a poignant reminder of the team’s past glory and aims to inspire them to strive for similar success in the current edition of the tournament.

Zambia’s return to the continental stage after a three-year absence has generated immense excitement throughout the nation. The special edition kit adds an extra layer of anticipation and significance to the team’s campaign in the AFCON.

FAZ president Andrew Kamanga had teased the possibility of a distinctive kit in December, stating, “You will see the Chipolopolo Boys in a special edition KoPa jersey.” Staying true to his word, the new Kopa kit was officially launched on Wednesday, creating a sense of pride and unity among fans.

As the Zambia National Team takes the field in San Pedro tonight, adorned in their limited edition kit, the nation collectively hopes for a successful tournament run. The special jersey not only reflects the team’s history but also carries the aspirations and dreams of a nation eager for a repeat of the 2012 AFCON glory. The kick-off for the match against the Democratic Republic of Congo is set for 10 pm Zambian time.
