The 60,000 Capacity Heroes Stadium in Lusaka, the venue for the Last group A clash between Zambia and Egypt was incredibly full to its capacity. the Zambian fans were celebrating and cheering their team to a deserved 3-1 victory over the Pharaoh’s .Present was their president His Excellency Edgar Chagwa Lungu, FAZ President Andrew Kamanga and CAF President Issa Hayatou among other dignitaries.
As the fans came in large numbers to cheer up the young chipolopolo there was an exceptional section of fans who are believed to be from a local premier league club. They were in all red and with banners portraying two of their players in the National U20 squad together with the head coach Beston Chambeshi
This fans believe so much in their club and one fan told soka25east that “Yes Nkana is a big club and we are fully represented here men, look at the coach, look at our defenders Nyondo, I tell you Nkana for life and chipolopolo for life ”
Soka25east did a research and found out that despite fans coming up in large numbers in support of their National team, this fans sit according to club affiliation where one stand is occupied by Zesco fans, a giant club from Ndola while another is occupied by other clubs like Power Dynamos etc
Yesterday it was Kitwe based side Nkana red devils dancing with their fans in and out of the stadium in praise of both their defender and coach who they believed propelled the young chipolopolo to victory over fancied Egypt .
