Zambia
The Zambia national football team, known as the Chipolopolo (Copper Bullets), is one of Africa's most celebrated sides. Founded in 1929 and affiliated with FIFA since 1964, Zambia's greatest triumph came at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea and Gabon, where they defeated Ivory Coast on penalties to claim their first and only continental title. That victory was an emotional dedication to the 18 players and staff who perished in a 1993 plane crash. Coached at various points by notable figures including Herve Renard and Milutin Sredojevic, Zambia has regularly competed in AFCON tournaments. Kalusha Bwalya remains the nation's most iconic footballer. The team plays home matches at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola.
