The Zambia Under-20 national team made a significant stride towards
qualifying for the Rwanda 2009 Caf Africa Youth Championship finals
after drawing 3-3 away to their perennial nemesis in the event Egypt
Under-20 in Alexandria on Sunday night.
The surprise recall of the volatile attacking midfielder Fwayo Tembo
of Tunisian club Etoile de Sahel paid off after the player inspired by
scoring a brace with Zambia’s 2nd and 3rd goals in the 17th and 44th
minute.
This is after Tembo’s former Edusport teammate and striker Roger Kola
of Zanaco had opened scores for Zambia 14 minutes into the 1st half.
Egypt put the pressure on their guests to rally twice in the 1st half
with goals in the opening 45 minutes in the 19th and 33rd minutes
before equalizing on the hour mark.
Zambia takes a vital draw to take into the final, 2nd round, return
leg match qualifier to be played at Nchanga stadium in Chingola on
October 11.
Winner over both legs will qualify for the Rwanda finals to be held
from January 18 1to February 1.
Meanwhile, with Zambia and Egypt clash coinciding with the BP Top 8
semifinal date between Zesco United and Young Arrows also at Nchanga
and scheduled for the same date, the latter Cup match will be played
24 hours later at the same venue.
KONKOLA FIRE COACHES
Fredrick Kashimoto very brief stint as Konkola Blades technical
advisor ended sooner than it begun after he was fired on Sunday with
just three games gone on the job.
Kashimoto was shown the door together with head coach Richard Chewe
who was appointed to the bench at the start of the season in his first
top trainers job in Zambia after over a decade playing and coaching in
Zimbabwe.
Under the duo, Blades drew 1 match and lost 2 games including a BP Top
8 quarterfinal match away to Lusaka Dynamos a week ago losing 1-0 and
followed this up this past Saturday with a similar result at home
against Roan United in a Week 23 fixture in Chililabombwe.
Blades have replaced the duo with interim coach Charles Mwila who was
previously caretaker after Dean Mwiinde was fired towards the end of
the 2007 season.
Kashimoto and Chewe arer the 6th and 7th coaching casualties in the
Faz Premier League this season.
They join Paul Mulenga of Roan, Jim Mwale formerly of promoted Green
Eagles and Wesley Mondo who was fired by Zanaco in August.
Others are the former City of Lusaka coaching pair of Fighton
Simukonda and Happy Sichikolo.

LT. THERE WAS SOME TOURISM ACTIVITIES GOING ON IN SAMFYA AND THE REST OF LUAPULA PROVINCE WHERE MORE THAN 150 TOURIST WENT AT A GO. PLEASE, REPORT ON THAT PROGRESSIVE ISSUE AND SHOW US SOME IMAGES OF SAMFYA BEACHES THE NEGLECTED PLACE IS ONE OF THE FEW WONDERFUL PLACES ON EARTH. GUYS GOOGLE “SAMFYA BEACHES” AND SEE WHAT THESE ZAMBIAN GOVTs HAVE NOT BOTHERED TO REALLY DEVELOP. I GO TO BEACHES HERE (OVERSEAS), NO BEACH HERE CAN MATCH OR COME NEAR TO SAMFYA BEACHES.
google: “SAMFYA BEACHES”
THIS WEEK IF THE MONEY DOES NOT COME I KNOW WHO I AM GOING TO BEAT AT THE EMBASSY. THE ONE WHO WILL BE TREATED IN LONDON. I HAVE MADE UP MY MIND TO TERMINATE MY CONTRACT. THIS REMAINING YEAR I CANT GDO IT WITH HUNGER. ALL ZAMBIAN EMBASY OFFICIAL SHUD BE TRAVELLING IN HELICOPTERS OTHERWISE. SINCE AM NOT GOING TO SCHOLL DUE TO LACK OF TRANSPORT I WILL STAY WERE I KNOW BEST. I AM SORRY MY FATHER AND MOTHER. AM COMING HOME WITHOUT ACHIEVING WAT I PROMISED YOU.
bravo to the youngsters, if only we had maintained our lead… the coach should consider including fwayo in the senoir national team.
number #1 …… I’m not sure what samfya beaches have to do with the matters at hand 🙂
The coaches should work on defense now.On the issue of recently fired coaches, most of these guys lack management skills and can hardly read the opponents game plan they become spectators but on the bench.Chi Simata Simata is a failure in football adiminstration and having lost in the FAZ polls he will criticise this Kalu led team at all cost.
# 1- do you know the meaning of a beach????????we dont have beaches in Zambia!!!!!!!!!!!!no offence brother
First and foremost to have a draw against the pharoahs says alot; to lead them on home turf says more. Keep this young team intact, do not allow government coaches nor faz officials to pick players for the Coach. The move was wonderful, my Egyptian friend drove miles to congratulate me. Samfya is great, but #1 what does this have to do with Football, you are my brother still.
Been looking forward to getting these results and hey,i have something to smile about.This is the way forward for Zambian football.Big up!!!!!!!!
#4. Please before you proceed showing your ingnorance, try and understand the definition of a beach! Pipo like you make should be sent back home to ga to school!!
” a body of sand by a sea , lake or ocean”.
Well done under 20. keep up the spirit. Lets beat Egypt in a return leg. Kola will soon be a striker to rely on for the senior national team. Many would disagree with me but I have watched this boy for a long time and I have seen his progress
Hats off to the young chipolopolo boys.keep up with the good spirit.
Who cares we want Satas CV.
#1, Peter, thanks for the information. I did not know samfya had pretty beaches like that. We need to take time and start visiting such places. Cheers…..
then we can as well introduce beach football in zambia played in sanfya every weekend
The boys did a great job in Egypt and deserve a pat on the back, however seeing that we led three times and three times the pharaos came from behind to equalise leaves some question defense and the team’s concentration…
I laboured so much to have the results for the U – 20 National Soccer Team. I searched & searched opn the internet but could not get the results until ba ZNBC posted the results though late as usual. LT be upto date when it comes to soccer. Anyway I want to say Congrats Lads. I shall be at Nchanga Stadium on 11th Oct to give you the support you very much deserve. We need to beat ama Phaorohs with a handsome margin.
Chipolopolo…….Iyeeee……….!
Lets go Zambia, Lets go. First Togo, then Egypt, we’re beginning to rub shoulders with the African giants again! Next is Nigeria!
Two goals scored by EduSport Academy players (Rodger and Fwayo) – The academy system in zambia need support and apprection Good job to the team
bravo u-20;keep up the good work
Thanx boys. Go for it and get it! I’m proud of you.
After qualifying we’ll go to Samfya Beach as suggested by #1.
Welldone baiche lets us finish them off when they come to ZED
its a warning to world cup participants….Zambia is back on the pitch!!! come 2010 we should be commanding football in Africa, Fwayo Mwaice show them your muscles, congrants boys
beach soccer/volleyball in samfya, will be interesting.
Well done boys. Ocober 11th we bury the Pharaohs once and for all.
I am proudly Samfyan, Kabende by tribe. White sandy beach!
Who says Zambian standards of football are going down? Wrong observation! South Africa 2010 here we come!
well done guys!! bravo! make sure u beat them at home ground.we are behind you. congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zambia 3 – Egypt 3 In Alexandria, Egypt. Congrats., for achieving such a result. However, I want to be pragmatic and comment on that game. The frontline is the main team of our senior national team (Kola, Fwayo, Sunzu,Mayuka). Forget their true ages but they showed the mantle by scoring 3 goals. The backline is not the senior national team and they leaked 3 goals.
Egypt used the under 20 team with no names from the senior team players.They bleached the backline 3 goals. This shows our young team need to seal the loopholes in defence to go far and win the U20 africa cup. Lets polish the backline then we shall have a team to groom for the 2010 world cup.
mukuka boyi, kosako we are behind you.Baptise them when they visit us at our home soil.Go boys Go
We will beat Zambia in 2weeks time, they are lucky that they even achieved a draw, its a very big achievement for such a nation without any major football glory to tok hum abt, tel your government to start preparing for the 2011 all Africa Games instead of disturbing our progress in qualification. I can foresee potential disasters to come your way you Zambians. Second League match result Egypt (3) v Zambia (0), Aggregate Egypt (6) v Zambia (3).
Let us learn to rally behind our sportsmen and women both in victory and defeat.NOT only when they win.That is not fair.
Zambia will definetly trimph wen they play here, Egypt will kiss dust. Its not good to say Zambia will lose and more over, Egypt is not a team to be scared of, Zambia no size. we expect no less than 4-o
#26 muhammad wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
I am glad that we have finally found a formula to tame those pharoals.They have been a menace at all levels.Go Zambia go, go for goals in the return match.
haha #28 talk is cheap …..wishful thinking though. the pharaohs had their chance and they failed to use their home ground advantage.
The problem now remains with FAZ,they avoid calling foreign based
players due to their financial problems.Come out we can help.
WELL DONE
A decent result by the team but we let them come back into the game three times!!
the lads should be more ruthless and learn to kill teams off.
all the same, congrats guys
welldone boys, well done lenard,well done FAZ
let us kill Egypt when she comes here.subject her to the scoarching heat of chingola
balegeni baleya welcome to thegame
