Confirmed! Zambia’s final squad for AFCON 2025

Zambia’s squad for AFCON 2025

Zambia coach Moses Sichone has finalized a 28-man squad to represent the Chipolopolo at AFCON 2025 in Morocco. Leading the attack is Patson Daka — the Leicester City forward whose pace and finishing will be pivotal if Zambia hopes to advance out of Group A. Alongside Daka are seasoned players such as Fashion Sakala, and promising additions like Italy-based midfielder Joseph Liteta and defender David Hamansenya, reflecting a mix of experience and youthful energy.

The selection signals a renewed ambition as Zambia enters the tournament with fresh hope, blending local-league performers, diaspora talents, and emerging stars. With preparations underway in a training camp based in Spain before the team heads to Morocco, expectations are riding high on this squad to deliver inspired performances and rekindle the national team’s proud AFCON legacy.
