Sports minister Elvis Nkandu has announced Chipolopolo players will each get $10, 000 for reaching the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations slated for Ivory Coast.
Nkandu told the players shortly after defeating hosts Ivory Coast that an additional $5000 will be paid to each player for the qualification.
The jubilant sports minister who was accompanied by other Cabinet ministers said the other $5000 was their winning bonus.
Zambia defeated Ivory Coast 3-0 on Saturday In Ndola to confirm the team’s spot at the 24 nations tournament to be played next year.
Nkandu congratulated FAZ, the technical staff and players for taking the country back to the competition after three failed attempts.
