Zambia National Futsal Team Head Coach, Andrea Cristoforetti, says the team is physically fit and ready to compete as it departs for Egypt for a pre-Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) training camp.

Speaking before departure today, Cristoforetti says the team had completed weeks of intensive preparations, covering key aspects needed ahead of the continental competition.

He said the team was aware of the challenges posed by its opponents, particularly the experienced North African sides.

Cristoforetti said the planned matches against Egypt, ranked among Africa’s leading futsal teams, would provide a crucial test of Zambia’s readiness.

Cristoforetti said the players had maintained good physical condition, with no injury concerns reported ahead of departure.

He said the technical bench and players were committed to giving their best, adding that the team was eager to participate in the competition.

Cristoforetti noted that qualifying for the AFCON for the second consecutive time, was already a significant achievement, as Zambia is among the eight best futsal teams on the continent.

He said the team is now focused on making further progress in the tournament, adding that selecting the final squad had been difficult because of the increased depth of talent and commitment demonstrated by players during previous training camps.

Cristoforetti said the players selected had a responsibility to represent the country and deliver results, while also honouring the efforts of those who were not included in the final squad.
