Zambia seek prompt return to Gabon
Champions of Africa Zambia
Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) said the friendly will likely be played in Libreville because the newly built Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola has not been officially opened.
"We want to go back t say thank you to the people of Gabon," FAZ communications officer Erick Mwanza said.
"They looked after us very well during the Africa Cup and they were always supporting the Chipolopolo and to show our appreciation we have to give them a game."
In was in Gabon on February 12, 2012 where Zambia clinched their first-ever Africa Cup title after beating Cote d'Ivoire 8-7 on post-match penalties in the final following a scoreless draw after extra time.
It was also off the coast of that country in April 1993 that an entire generation of Zambian footballers lost their lives in an air crash on their way to a World Cup qualifying game in Senegal.
