Zambia To Play Ghana At New Stadium In 2014 World Cup Qualifier

Zambia will host Ghana in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier at the newly-constructed Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola. The Chipolopolo first home international fixture will be on 8 June against a side they defeated at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations semi-final en route to winning the trophy. Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) president Kalusha Bwalya and coach Herve Renard have approved the venue after facilities in the stadium. �The completion of the works is very good for our game and comes handy with two important matches in June,� Kalusha said. Renard said: �It is a fantastic pitch and the training ground is excellent.� Zambia will also play Lesotho and Sudan in the Group D of the second phase of the qualifiers.
