Zambia’s football association has called off its friendly match against South Africa due to xenophobic attacks, which has also led Rwandan President, Paul Kagame, DRC President Felix Tshisekedi, and Malawi President, Prof Mutharika to withdraw from the World Economic Forum holding in South Africa.
Chipolopolo and Bafana Bafana were scheduled to square off on Saturday in Zambia.
In a statement released on Tuesday evening, the Football Association of Zambia wrote: “The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) regrets to inform members of the public that the international friendly match between Zambia and South Africa that was scheduled for National Heroes Stadium on Saturday, 7 September 2019 has been called off in view of the prevailing security concerns in South Africa.
FAZ General Secretary Adrian Kashala has relayed the message to the South African Football Association (SAFA) about the decision.
