Zambia to play Ghana at new stadium in 2014 World Cup qualifier

Published on: 15 March 2012

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.
