Too sad, my late friend’s son.
MHSRIP.
MHSRIP. However, If he was 26 in 2013, then he must have been 20 in 2007. Are you sure he played in the under 17 team? Or is this a case of African football and age cheating
poverty ya pa zed,
mwana walasa. i was also wondering what a 19 year old boy was doing at an under 17 tournament. somebody has to answer and we demand that from FAZ. it is embarassing. he is not the only case, there so many other scandals on similar lines in under 23, 20 and 19 national teams.
