The Botswana national team has arrived in Lusaka ahead of Thursday’s Group H Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Zambia.

Botswana arrived via a Botswana Defence Forces chartered aircraft but were without coach Adel Amrouche who is expected to join the team later.

In his absence his first assistant Christophe Baudez will take charge of the squad that arrived at 16:00 hours at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport.

The team Zebras are expected to give Zambia a good game in the back to back matches as both teams look to revive their hopes to qualify for the AFCON.

Zambia hosts the Zebras on Thursday at National Heroes Stadium before winding down the double header clash on Monday in Francistown.

Thursday’s match will kick off at 18:00 hours.
