This page has every Zambia DLS asset for Dream League Soccer 2026 — the official FAZ logo, home kit, away kit, third kit, and goalkeeper kits, all in 512x512 PNG format. Zambia — Chipolopolo, the Copper Bullets — are one of Southern Africa's most celebrated football nations: a landlocked country of 20 million people whose 2012 Africa Cup of Nations triumph in Libreville, Gabon was one of the most emotionally extraordinary achievements in the history of African football, dedicated to the 18 players and 5 staff members who died when the Zambia national team's plane crashed into the Atlantic Ocean off Libreville in April 1993. Winning the AFCON 19 years later, in the very city where the plane fell into the sea, was a moment of sport meeting history in a way that defies ordinary description. The green, orange and black of the Zambian national flag — the colours that give Chipolopolo their vivid home kit — represent the natural and cultural identity of one of Africa's most copper-rich nations, and in DLS the Zambia badge and green kit are downloaded by the passionate Zambian fanbase and by the worldwide football community that has taken Chipolopolo to their hearts for that 2012 story and for the quality of players like Kalusha Bwalya, Freddy Mwila and the current generation. Every URL here is hosted on a fast CDN that allows hotlinking, so your badge and shirt load inside DLS on the first try.

Zambia Home Kit DLS 2026 Most Downloaded
Zambia's distinctive green home shirt for DLS 2026 — the kit of Chipolopolo, the Copper Bullets, worn by one of Southern Africa's most beloved national teams and dedicated to those who never came home from Libreville in 1993. The green of Zambia's football kit is drawn from the Zambian national flag — a green field with a vertical tricolour of red, black and orange on the right side, with a soaring eagle at the top right above the tricolour. The green represents the natural beauty and agricultural wealth of Zambia's land — the vast miombo woodland, the Zambezi River and its tributaries, the Victoria Falls (one of the seven natural wonders of the world), and the national parks that contain some of Africa's most significant wildlife populations. The red represents the blood shed in the struggle for independence from British colonialism (achieved on 24 October 1964). The black represents the Zambian people. The orange represents the copper and mineral wealth that defined Zambia's post-independence economy — the Copperbelt province in north-central Zambia was one of the world's most productive copper mining regions and the source of the nickname "Chipolopolo" (Copper Bullets). The soaring eagle on the flag represents freedom and the aspirations of the Zambian people. In DLS, the Zambia green home kit at 512x512 PNG carries all of that — the natural beauty, the copper wealth, the freedom eagle, and above all the memory of the 1993 team and the 2012 triumph that dedicated the AFCON title to them.

Zambia Away Kit DLS 2026 Away
Zambia's away kit for DLS 2026 uses orange — the copper colour from the Zambian flag that represents the mineral wealth of the Copperbelt and the very source of the national team's nickname — with green and black detailing that maintains the Chipolopolo identity in a contrasting palette. The orange away kit is one of CAF's most distinctive away designs, and its copper colour gives it a visual identity as unique as the country's own natural resource story. It sees elevated DLS downloads during AFCON tournaments and World Cup qualifying windows, particularly among the Southern African football community that recognises Zambia as one of the region's most passionate and most historically significant football nations.

Zambia Third Kit DLS 2026 Special Edition
Zambia's third kit for DLS 2026 is a special edition design used for colour clash situations. The FAZ uses the third kit slot to celebrate Zambia's extraordinary natural and cultural heritage — the Victoria Falls (Mosi-oa-Tunya, "The Smoke that Thunders") straddling the Zambezi on the Zambia-Zimbabwe border, the wildlife of South Luangwa National Park (one of Africa's finest game reserves), the Bemba, Tonga, Nyanja and Lozi cultural traditions of Zambia's more than 70 ethnic groups, or a design that references the 1993 disaster and the 2012 redemption — two moments that define the soul of Zambian football and that no supporter of the game can encounter without being moved. Zambia's third kit in DLS is a premium design for a football nation whose story carries more emotional weight than almost any other in African sport.

Zambia football badge history — Chipolopolo, the 1993 disaster and the 2012 miracle (1964–2026)
The Zambia national football team badge carries the green, red, black and orange of the Zambian national flag — the colours of a copper-rich landlocked nation at the heart of southern Africa — and the Fish Eagle that soars above all of it, the national bird of Zambia whose distinctive call is one of the defining sounds of the African bush. The FAZ badge represents a football programme whose story is unlike any other in the sport: the tragedy of 1993, when the entire national team perished in a plane crash off the coast of Gabon, and the miracle of 2012, when Zambia won the Africa Cup of Nations in the very same city where the plane fell into the sea.
The national flag of Zambia is a green field with a vertical tricolour of red, black and orange on the right side, and a soaring orange Fish Eagle positioned above the tricolour. The flag was adopted at independence on 24 October 1964. Green represents the natural beauty and agricultural wealth of Zambia's land. Red represents the blood shed in the struggle for independence from British colonialism. Black represents the Zambian people. Orange represents the copper that has been the foundation of the Zambian economy since independence — the Copperbelt province in north-central Zambia is one of the world's great copper deposits and has given the national football team its nickname Chipolopolo (Copper Bullets). The Fish Eagle — the African Fish Eagle (Haliaeetus vocifer), named for its distinctive and haunting call — is one of Africa's most iconic birds of prey and its presence on the flag represents the freedom and aspirations of the Zambian people. The same Fish Eagle soars on the FAZ badge above the Zambian national team.
Zambia gained independence from Britain on 24 October 1964 — formerly Northern Rhodesia, the country was renamed for the Zambezi River that forms its southern border. The Football Association of Zambia was established around independence and joined FIFA in 1964 and CAF in 1964. Football had been deeply embedded in Zambian culture during the British colonial period — the Copperbelt mining communities were particularly football-mad, and the clubs of Lusaka and the Copperbelt towns produced generations of technically gifted players. The FAZ has been a continuous FIFA member since 1964 and its championship, the Super League of Zambia, is one of Southern Africa's most competitive domestic competitions.
Kalusha Bwalya is the greatest Zambian footballer of all time — a technically gifted attacking midfielder and forward who was at the peak of his powers when he should have died with his teammates in April 1993. Bwalya had flown directly from the Netherlands — where he was playing for PSV Eindhoven — to Senegal to join the national team for the World Cup qualifier against Senegal, rather than travelling on the team plane from Lusaka. The plane crashed before reaching Senegal. Bwalya survived by chance and went on to lead the rebuilt Zambia team at the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations — where, barely a year after the disaster, Zambia reached the final, losing to Nigeria in extra time, in one of football's most emotionally charged tournament performances. Bwalya later served as president of the FAZ. He is Zambia's most celebrated sportsperson and the human connection between the 1993 tragedy and the 2012 triumph.
On 27 April 1993, a Zambia Air Force de Havilland Buffalo transport aircraft carrying the Zambia national football team to Senegal for a 1994 World Cup qualifier crashed into the Atlantic Ocean shortly after takeoff from Libreville, Gabon — where it had stopped to refuel. All 30 people on board were killed: 18 players, 5 coaches and support staff, and 7 crew and other passengers. The players who died included some of Zambia's finest — Alex Chola, Eston Mulenga, Moses Chikwalakwala, Robert Watiyambe and 14 others. The entire first-choice Zambia squad was wiped out in an instant. The disaster devastated a nation and left African football in mourning for one of its most talented and most beloved teams. The Zambia that would rise from that devastation — under coach Samuel Ndhlovu and with the returning Kalusha Bwalya at the centre — would carry the memory of those 18 players in every match.
Less than a year after the plane crash, Zambia — rebuilt around Kalusha Bwalya and a new generation of players — qualified for and competed at the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations in Tunisia. The emotional weight of every match was immense — supporters and neutral observers across the continent were united in hoping that this team, carrying the names and memories of the dead, could achieve something extraordinary. Zambia reached the final, where they faced Nigeria — a dominant team that would go on to win Olympic gold in 1996. In a match played through tears and prayers, Nigeria won 2-1 in extra time. Zambia were runners-up. The silver medal at the 1994 AFCON is regarded by many as one of the most spiritually significant results in the history of African football — a team that should not have existed, built from grief, reaching the pinnacle.
The 2012 Africa Cup of Nations was held in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea. The final was in Libreville, Gabon — the same city where the Zambia national team's plane had fallen into the sea nineteen years earlier. Zambia played Ivory Coast in the final. Ivory Coast, featuring Didier Drogba, Yaya Touré, Gervinho and a generation of world-class players, were heavy favourites. After 120 goalless minutes — one of the most extraordinary finals in AFCON history — Zambia won on penalties. Captain Christopher Katongo converted the decisive kick. The celebrations that erupted — in Lusaka, in the Copperbelt, among Zambians worldwide — were for the title, yes, but more than that they were for the 18 who never came home, for the 1994 runners-up who got so close, for Kalusha Bwalya who had watched from the sidelines as this generation fulfilled what his generation started. When the Zambian players ran to the sea and scattered flowers on the water of the Atlantic where their predecessors had died, the entire African continent wept. The green and orange shirt from that final is the most downloaded Zambia DLS design of all time and one of the most emotionally significant football kits in African history.
The current Zambia logo for DLS 2026 uses the modern FAZ Fish Eagle crest at 512x512 PNG with transparent background. The green, the orange, the black, the red and the FAZ identity are all present — the badge of a football nation that carries more history in its colours than almost any other on the continent.
What does the Zambia FAZ badge symbolise?
The FAZ badge carries the African Fish Eagle — one of Africa's most iconic birds of prey, whose haunting call is one of the defining sounds of the sub-Saharan bush — set against the green, red, black and orange of the Zambian national flag. The eagle represents freedom and the aspirations of the Zambian people. The orange represents copper — the mineral that built Zambia's post-independence economy and gave the team its Chipolopolo (Copper Bullets) nickname. The green represents the extraordinary natural wealth of Zambia's land — the miombo woodland, the Zambezi, the Victoria Falls. But above all, in the context of football, the FAZ badge carries the weight of April 1993 and February 2012 — the tragedy and the miracle that together make the Zambia story the most emotionally complete narrative in African football history.
Zambia kit history — green since independence
The green of Zambia's football kit has been worn since the FAZ's founding at independence in 1964 — the natural wealth colour of the Zambian flag, carried through the early decades of Zambian football, through the 1993 disaster that destroyed a generation, through the 1994 runners-up finish that proved the spirit of those 18 players lived on, through Kalusha Bwalya's magnificent career, and through the 2012 AFCON triumph in Libreville that completed one of sport's most powerful stories of grief, resilience and redemption. The green home shirt combined with the orange away creates one of Southern Africa's most visually striking national team colour combination.
Various manufacturers have supplied Zambia kits across different eras. The 2012 AFCON final kit — the green shirt worn when Christopher Katongo converted the winning penalty in Libreville — is the most emotionally significant and most downloaded Zambia DLS design of all time. The 1994 AFCON runner-up kit is the second most historically significant.

Zambia in DLS 2026 — Chipolopolo, the Copper Bullets with the most emotional story in African football
Zambia are African football's most emotionally resonant national team — AFCON champions in 2012, the team that won the title in the city where their predecessors died in 1993, dedicating the trophy to those 18 players at the ocean's edge. In DLS, the green and orange badge and kit are downloaded by passionate Zambian supporters and by football fans worldwide who know the 1993 and 2012 story and feel its weight.
The Zambia squad for 2026 is building under coach Avram Grant or his successor, with a generation of players who carry the legacy of 2012 as both inspiration and responsibility. Given Singuluma, Patson Daka (Leicester City) — the most prominent Zambian in the Premier League, a technically accomplished forward with a remarkable goals-per-game record for club and country — and Emmanuel Banda represent the current attacking quality. Fashion Sakala (Rangers/various), Kelvin Kampamba and goalkeeper Lawrence Mulenga anchor key positions. Patson Daka in particular — born in Kafue, Zambia in 1999, developed through Red Bull Salzburg's academy and sold to Leicester City for approximately £23 million in 2021 — is the most prominent Zambian footballer in European football in the current era and the player most associated with the next chapter of the Chipolopolo story.

Zambia DLS Logo & Kits FAQ
What is the Zambia DLS logo URL for 2026?
The Zambia DLS logo URL for 2026 is in the logo section at the top of this page. Tap Copy Logo URL, open Dream League Soccer, go to My Club, Customize Team, then Edit Logo, paste and confirm. The FAZ Fish Eagle badge appears on your team instantly.
What is the Zambia DLS home kit URL for 2026?
The Zambia home kit URL for 2026 — the green Chipolopolo shirt — is in the Kits section above. Copy the URL, go to Edit Kit in DLS, select the Home slot, paste and confirm. The Zambia green shirt appears on your squad immediately.
What does Chipolopolo mean?
Chipolopolo means "Copper Bullets" in Bemba — one of Zambia's most widely spoken indigenous languages. The name references the copper that has been the foundation of Zambia's post-independence economy and that gave the Copperbelt province its name. Zambia has been one of the world's major copper producers since independence in 1964, and the orange strip on the national flag — the source of the away kit colour — specifically represents this mineral wealth. The Copper Bullets nickname combines industrial power with speed and precision, perfectly capturing Chipolopolo's attacking football identity.
What happened on 27 April 1993?
On 27 April 1993, a Zambia Air Force plane carrying the national football team to Senegal for a 1994 World Cup qualifier crashed into the Atlantic Ocean shortly after takeoff from Libreville, Gabon, where it had stopped to refuel. All 30 people on board were killed — 18 players, 5 coaching and support staff, and 7 crew and other passengers. The entire first-choice Zambia squad was lost. The crash is one of football's most devastating disasters and its shadow falls over every subsequent chapter of Zambian football history.
How did Kalusha Bwalya survive the 1993 crash?
Kalusha Bwalya — Zambia's greatest player and then playing for PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands — had flown directly to Senegal from the Netherlands to join the squad for the World Cup qualifier, rather than travelling on the team's flight from Lusaka via Libreville. The plane crashed before reaching Senegal. Bwalya was already in Senegal when his teammates died. He survived by the accident of geography — that he had taken a different route to the same destination. He went on to lead the rebuilt Zambia team to the 1994 AFCON final, dedicating every performance to those who had died.
What happened when Zambia won AFCON 2012 in Libreville?
Zambia won the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations in Libreville, Gabon — the same city where the 1993 plane crashed into the sea. After 120 goalless minutes against Ivory Coast (featuring Drogba, Yaya Touré and Gervinho), Zambia won on penalties. Captain Christopher Katongo converted the decisive kick. After the trophy presentation, the Zambian players walked to the Atlantic Ocean and scattered flowers on the water in memory of the 18 who died in 1993. The image of those players at the sea's edge, with their medals and their flowers, is one of the most powerful moments in the history of African sport.
Who is Patson Daka?
Patson Daka — born in Kafue, Zambia in 1999 — is the most prominent Zambian footballer in European football in the current era. Developed through Red Bull Salzburg's academy (where he was one of the Austrian Bundesliga's most prolific scorers), he joined Leicester City in 2021 for approximately £23 million. His pace, his movement and his composure in front of goal make him one of the most exciting Zambian forwards in the national team's history and the natural heir to Kalusha Bwalya's legacy as Zambia's defining attacking player of his generation.
Does the Zambia DLS logo URL work in DLS 24, DLS 25, and DLS 26?
Yes. The logo and kit import system is identical across DLS 24, DLS 25, and DLS 26. Any working 512x512 PNG URL used in one version works in all of them.
How many Zambia kits are there for DLS 2026?
Zambia has six kit variants for DLS 2026: the home outfield kit, the away outfield kit, the third outfield kit, the home goalkeeper kit, the away goalkeeper kit, and the third goalkeeper kit. All six are on this page with separate copy buttons.
Is the Zambia DLS logo free to use?
Yes, completely free. No signup, no payment, no limit. Copy as many Zambia logo and kit URLs as you need from this page.
Can I use the Zambia badge and all kits together in DLS?
Yes — and it gives the most authentic Chipolopolo experience. Go to Customize Team, use Edit Logo for the FAZ Fish Eagle badge, and Edit Kit for each shirt slot. Using both together means the Zambian Fish Eagle crest appears correctly on every green home, orange away, and third shirt in every DLS match.
