ZambiaPlayer Info
Stoppila Sunzu is a Zambian international defender and national hero, famously scoring the winning penalty in the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations final to secure Zambia's first-ever title. Now 36 and playing for Changchun Yatai in China, the 192 cm center-back is a legend in his homeland. His club career began in Zambia before moves to TP Mazembe, where he won multiple CAF Champions League titles, and later to Europe with clubs like Lille and Arsenal Tula. The AFCON triumph is his crowning achievement, but his club honors with Mazembe are also significant. Sunzu is a physically dominant defender, excellent in the air and a threat from set-pieces. His career is defined by that iconic moment of glory for Zambia, coupled with a solid and successful club journey across continents.
