Good morning all,

As the President of the National Olympic Committee of Zambia (NOCZ), it fills me with immense pride and excitement to remind you that the Paris 2024 Olympic Games are just one year away, scheduled to commence on July 26, 2024. This prestigious global event, known as the world’s, foremost athletic competition, brings together over 200 nations in the spirit of sportsmanship and unity.

I have every confidence that our dedicated athletes and the respective national federations/associations are already putting in the hard work to prepare themselves adequately for these games. I commend your commitment and unwavering determination in representing Zambia on this global stage. However, I urge all of you to go the extra mile, to push yourselves even harder, and to give your all in order to qualify for this momentous event.

The Olympic Games are not only a display of athleticism but also an opportunity to showcase the values of Olympism, which include excellence, respect, and friendship. Team Zambia has always demonstrated a fighting spirit, and I have no doubt that you will continue to do so in Paris, vying for glory and bringing home medals for our beloved nation.

As NOCZ, we take immense pride in our athletes who work tirelessly to elevate sports in our country to new heights.
