 Kalusha Bwalia, Charles Musonda and Johnson Bwalia were playing for clubs in Europe, among the best footballers in the world and where there is more status and better pay. At the time, to see an African player in Europe was unusual. Kalusha, Charles and Johnson were planning to travel from Belgium, the Netherlands and Switzerland where they played and join the squad in Senegal. Of course, they didn't meet up with their teammates.
