Growing up in Callao, Peru, Zambrano revealed his childhood, saying: "As a child, I was always on the street, playing with friends with a glass ball. Usually we played right on the ground. When I come to Peru, I visit my friends — we no longer live in that dangerous area, but in a more peaceful place — we often play this game. We feel like children."{{cite news|title=Карлос Самбрано: "В России такие клубы, как "Рубин" и "Зенит", платят хорошо"|url=https://www.sports.ru/tribuna/blogs/rubin1958/1122122.html|publisher=Sports.ru|language=ru|date=2 December 2016|access-date=8 May 2020}} He also supported Alianza Lima growing up and hope to play for the club one day.{{cite news|title=Alianza Lima: Carlos Zambrano espera jugar con la blanquiazul|url=https://elbocon.pe/peruanos-en-el-extranjero/alianza-lima-carlos-zambrano-espera-jugar-con-la-blanquiazul-118435/|publisher=El Bocon|language=es|date=29 January 2016|access-date=8 May 2020}}
