LUSAKA, Sept. 17 (Xinhua) -- Zambia national football team interim coach Aggrey Chiyangi has named a 20-player squad to take on eSwatini in their 2020 African Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifier.

Zambia and eSwatini will battle for a place at the CHAN tournament over two legs, with the first leg scheduled for September 22 in Manzini, while the second leg will be played on October 19 in Zambia's Ndola City.
