Players Kennedy Musonda and Clatous Chama from Yanga are among the 19 players included in the Zambian national team squad that will play an international friendly match against Russia on March 25
Zambia, which is in Group E with Tanzania in the race to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, will not have a match this time after Congo was banned by FIFA
It should be noted that Eritrea, which was in Group E, also withdrew and therefore the matches involving those teams will not be played
Zambia coach Avram Grant has named a 19-man squad for the game, including Musonda and Chama who have seemingly secured numbers in Grant's squad

Musonda was the scorer Zambia's top scorer in the Afcon 2025 qualifiers, scoring 4 goals and helping Zambia secure a place in the tournament
Despite not starting for Yanga, Musonda is the main striker for the Zambian national team
