And the former Chipolopolo players led by skipper Chris Katongo are \u2018excited\u2019 that the nation will finally honor their efforts in Gabon. According to the ZamFoot Crew sources at the Alick Nkhata road-based Football House, FAZ is confident the association will manage to \u2018honor the boys on 12th February.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are hurting especially that Zambia is again missing at the AFCON, at least FAZ should do the right thing now by celebrating the 2012 heroes,\u201d a Lusaka-based soccer fan said after she heard that the association is organizing a friendly match.<\/p>\n

It will be 10 years in February since that historical win in Gabon under the watchful eye of Frenchman Herve Renard. \u201cYes, it\u2019s true that we are looking at a friendly match for the boys. We have engaged the main stakeholders (government and the players),\u201d a Football House insider said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the right time, the nation will be updated,\u201d the source added. On the road to victory, Zambia dispatched off three West African giants \u2013 Senegal, Ghana, and Ivory Coast.<\/p>\n

Zambia beat Senegal 2-1 and co-host Equatorial Guinea before drawing 2-2 with Libya in the group stage. In the quarter-finals, Sudan came calling but they were handed a 3-0 bashing as the Chipolopolo Boys went rampage.<\/p>\n

The Black Stars\u2019 first title since 1982 was put on hold again as they conceded a late goal from Zambia courtesy of the then in-form Emmanuel Mayuka. Next to suffer the scalp were the favorites, Didier Drogba and Yaya Toure\u2019s Ivory Coast.
