Grant targets second place despite World Cup dream evaporating
Chipolopolo Boys coach Avram Grant is optimistic that Zambia can still qualify to the FIFA 2026 World Cup.
Following Tuesday’s 1-0 defeat to Tanzania on match day 4, Zambia’s dream of a maiden appearance at a FIFA World Cup might be over.
With Morocco thumping Congo Brazaville 6-0, and consolidating their position at the summit of Group E, Grant has targeted second place to salvage the country’s World Cup dream.
“We have created a good team; even with the loss today, I can say Zambia has a good future.
“We will continue fighting for second place in the group. We have a chance in the remaining four games if we take all the points, anything can happen.
“My target, is to go back to Africa Cup and do well.â€
Zambia has only picked up one victory and lost three games in this campaign.
