The departure of the Chipolopolo Boys to Saudi Arabia signifies a pivotal phase in their preparation for upcoming challenges.
As they embark on this journey, the team carries the legacy of being the 2012 African Champions, a title that adds both prestige and responsibility to their endeavors.
The training camp in Jeddah, spanning close to 10 days, offers a unique opportunity for the players and coaching staff to fine-tune their strategies, build cohesion, and enhance their physical and tactical prowess.
It serves as a crucial time for bonding, fostering team spirit, and honing the skills that will be pivotal in their quest for success in the tournaments that lie ahead.

Facing formidable opponents in Group F, including Morocco, DR Congo, and Tanzania, the friendly against Cameroon serves as a litmus test, allowing the Chipolopolo Boys to gauge their strengths and weaknesses.
With eyes set on the opening match against DR Congo in San Pedro on January 17, 2024, every moment spent in Saudi Arabia becomes a crucial stepping stone towards Zambia’s pursuit of excellence on the African football stage.
