The hosting rights for the 2017 CAF under-20 championship was

time to prepare starts now.” Kalusha added.
LETS HEAR THE HATERS!!!BRAVO KALU.
“Tunisian Girls Are Coming Home Pregnant After Performing ‘Sexual Jihad’ In Syria”
A member of the Free Syrian Army stands guard at a checkpoint they took over early on Monday after clashes with pro-government forces in Salqin city in Idlib October 22, 2012.
A number of girls from Tunisia have become pregnant after traveling to Syria to participate in “sexual jihad,” according to Lotfi Bin Jeddo, Tunisia’s Interior Minister.
The girls “are (sexually) swapped between 20, 30, and 100 rebels and they come back bearing the fruit of sexual contacts in the name of sexual jihad and we are silent doing nothing and standing idle,” Al Arabiya reported he said during an address to the National Constituent Assembly.
The Telegraph has more:
“After the sexual liaisons they have…
???
What does your contribution have to do with Zambian sports? Might aswell tell us about elections on Mars.
Good news!! The time to prepare starts now.” Kalusha added. True!!! procrastination is a theft of time.
Congratulations the great, You are leading the great Football association ever in the Zambian History .
Bravo Kalu!!! Bravo FAZ! Bravo Zambia!!! It is a goal. This assignment must be handled professionally. The country must make a super profit. The hospitality industry must start making preparations immediately. The preps include learning French and even Portuguese. The cost of hotel accommodation must be affordable to guarantee economy of scale.
Great news!!! More world class stadia to be built and built quick!
Great stepping stone as the smart people of the Zambian Enterprise eye hosting FIFA 2022. As we prepare and upgrade all our stadiums, we will create new jobs while increasing our tourism potential. Great job, Great Kulu!!!
Kudos to you and your team. God speed.
What a patriot you are great Kalu, you are such a juwel mother Zambia has ever produced, Haters go jump into the Vic Falls!
Let us prepare adequately. Inco-operate the young boys who took part in the airtel rising stars final against Nigel.Hard luck to the boys for putting up a spirited performance.Make sure the Team qualifies to the world cup under 20 and lift the trophy.GO ZAMBIA GO
Congrats but lets start a deliberate program to assemble junior teams. start with under 12, 14 so that we have a strong under 20 by 2017. Let the minister ask cabinet for funding to the PE departs in school for this program so that we can win this b.itch that has eluded us for years.
Yes, 1. Keep upgrading/building not just good but great stadiums. 2. Think football as business (inculcate this to parents at every opportunity you get and make. 3. Have two U12’s, U14’s, U17’s, and U20 teams at district, provincial and national levels. 4. What ever you do for the boys do the same for the girl child teams. 5. Always be on the look out for any teams in and outside Africa that can be roped in for friendlies with our provincial or national teams. Camp these under age teams in Europe every now and then, so our boys and girls can develop an understanding of World football. 6. Have foresight, see what other tournaments you can host at any level before or soon after 2017. 7. Start nurturing strikers. 8. Improve FAZ structures down to the chiefdom or village level…
Also, I suggest we find the formula of placing some of our boys and girls in European football academies. How do those West Africans do it? They have their little boys in youth teams everywhere.
Our local academies have done a great job already by producing our current stars. But what challenges do these structures face? How well informed and up-to-date are our coaches and referees? What can FAZ do to make their contribution more effective by both quality and quantity? What incentives does FAZ give to academies, coaches and referees that make it at national and international levels? With good incentives you already have one leg into success. And guess who will get the glory? FAZ and government. Viva! Zambia! Viva FAZ!
