Botswana have sneaked into the country ahead of Sunday’s 2015 CAF Under-17 Youth Championship qualifier against Zambia in Lusaka.

FAZ spokesperson Nkweto Tembwe confirmed that the Young Zebras arrived in the country on Wednesday evening.

Botswana had kept FAZ in the dark on their arrival prior to landing in Lusaka.

“Zambia’s opponents in the Niger 2015 Under Seventeen qualifier have arrived in the country. The Botswana national team touched down at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport this evening at 18:00 and were met by FAZ officials who immediately took them to Lusaka’s Golden Peacock hotel
where they have been accommodated,” Tembwe stated.
