Musonda was a regular with the Under-23 team under former coach Peter Kaumba starting from 2005 during the 2008 Olympic Games qualifiers and 2007 All-Africa Games campaign scoring 4 goals in over a dozen matches.

He is the second Zambian player to recently attend trials in Israel after Kabwe Warriors and Zambia striker Emmanuel Mayuka who this week completed a 1-week tryout with Maccabi Haifa this past Tuesday.

  1. The match will be played at 22:00hrs ,what time table have the technical bench put in place? i suggest that they should let the players sleep very late the night before so as to keep up with time to avoid stress

  2. We spend so much money on politics, neglecting sport.We shouldn’t be talking about soccer played under flood lights because thats what everyone is doing except Zambia.When our boys are subjected to night football, they go blind and leak in goals.Most of the times we lose to Egytian Teams, not that they have always been better than us, but because they have put their money to build all the infrasture that go along with soccer.

    I wissh our boys well in Egypt and I hope they see the ball in the night.

  3. Oh Lord, I hope and pray that this Justine Zulu becomes an international star like Mbesuma, you know it feels so guilty to have a “Zulu” surname in South Africa. These people think we’re wishing to become South Africans.
