Zambia FA cancel South Africa friendly due to xenophobic attacks

The Federation Association of Zambia (FAZ) have confirmed the cancellation of an international friendly against Bafana Bafana after xenophobic attacks in South Africa.

Until a few hours ago, Zambia’s Chipolopolo were set to battle South Africa’s Bafana Bafana in an international friendly on Saturday 7 September in Lusaka.

The decision to call off the game was confirmed by FAZ president Andrew Kamanga live on Robert Marawa’s popular Marawa Sport Worldwide.

“The game is off, and we communicated that to SAFA and they understood. We have been talking to try and monitor the situation,” Kamanga said on the show.
