With just a day remaining before the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) kicks off, the Ministry of Youth, Sports, and Arts has urged football fans to manage their expectations for the Chipolopolo as they embark on their AFCON journey after a prolonged absence. Hon. Elvis Nkandu, speaking on Diamond TV, advised fans not to burden the Copper Bullets with excessive pressure, emphasizing the significance of managing expectations, especially considering that this is their first AFCON qualification since 2015. "We have the potential to win AFCON, but it's crucial to recognize that there are no small teams in this tournament. Recent friendly matches, like Nigeria's loss to Guinea Bissau, illustrate the unpredictable nature of the competition," he remarked. Hon. Nkandu underscored the need for fans to understand that any team in the tournament could clinch victory, encouraging belief in the Chipolopolo's determination to give their best effort, regardless of the ultimate results. Additionally, he assured that the government and the Ministry have spared no effort in motivating players by allocating ample resources to ensure a stellar performance on the field.
