Shepolopolo Under-17 teams Monday departure for their USA training camp has stalled.
The team was due to fly out to Miami today where they were due to start a two week training camp en route to Costa Rica ahead of their debut outing at the FIFA Womens U17 World Cup next month.
A visa delay is said to be the major issue with FAZ general secretary George Kasengele stating to local media that the application process has been tedious.
The team is now tentatively expected to depart for Miami this Thursday, February 27.
Shepolopolo Under-17 is the first Zambian female national tem to qualify for a major women’s tournament.
In Costa Rica, Zambia are in Group A together with Italy, Venezuela and the host nation.
Shepolopolo face Italy in their opening game on March 15 in San Jose before playing against Venezuela three days later.
Shepolopolo will wrap up their preliminary round fixtures against Costa Rica on March 22.
