π¨OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON ZAMBIAβS PARTICIPATION IN THE HOCKEY AFRICA CUP OF NATIONS β ISMAILIA , EGYPT
The Zambia Hockey Association wishes to update the public, stakeholders, and partners on the progress of preparations for the national teamsβ participation in the upcoming Hockey Africa Cup of Nations, Ministry of Sport, the Government approved the facilitation of flights for the delegation. However, we submitted our budget to be supported for flights and accommodation,
we have been informed that accommodation costs must be settled by the association before air tickets can be purchased.
With the team scheduled to depart today on 9th October 2025, and our first match set for 11th October 2025 playing defending champions South Africa, we are urgently seeking to raise K500,000 to cover the required accommodation payments and secure the teamβs travel arrangements from the Ministry. Meanwhile the association has managed to source for Visa, insurance, playing kit, truck suits, and participation fee.
The Zambia Hockey Association continues to engage with the Ministry of Sport and the National Sports Council of Zambia to ensure that the necessary support is provided in time. We remain hopeful that, with collective effort, our national teams will proudly represent Zambia at this prestigious continental event.
We appeal once again to the corporate world, private sector, and well-wishers to come forward and assist us in meeting these critical costs. Every contribution will directly support the players and staff who have worked tirelessly in preparation for this tournament.
