With Glasgow hosting the Commonwealth Games in 2014, the city was keen to attract teams, particularly from Commonwealth countries, for pre-2012 London Olympics training camps.
Around 25 athletes from the two teams will be based at the University of Strathclyde and will train at venues across the city.
Glasgow’s Lord Provost, Bob Winter, said: 'We are delighted that Namibia and Zambia have decided to base their pre-2012 London Olympic Games training camps in Glasgow. This is a tremendous endorsement for the city’s world-class sporting facilities, and we hope that other national Olympic teams follow this lead.'
Mrs Miriam Moyo, President of the National Olympic Committee of Zambia, said:
'Certainly with Namibia already on board, and hopefully soon a few more southern African countries, Glasgow will provide a very homely and welcoming setting for our athletes.'
