  1. Well done boys!Next stop,Kampala and the Niger!
    Exposure at a tender age can guarantee scouts from big clubs taking you on.
    The U17 finals are a big shopping supermarket for big clubs like Barca,Man U,Chelsea,Arsenal,Real and the rest.

  2. Congratulations to the lads for the welll deserved victory. But wont Bostwana, this time,think of reporting Zambia to FIFA for scoring too many goals away?
    I hope the lads will trounce Uganda so they can make a maiden appearance at next years finals.

  3. Keep them coming,who is next?uganda watch the chipolopolo is on mission to beat any team that comes in its way.

  4. Eya eeeh! This is the football we have been missing since the Renards, Beaumelles, Patrick Phiris, took over the bench in Zed. The goals dried up! Now it looks like this U-17 team is fed up with 1-0 victories, goalless draws and losses. They want to show Chipolopolo how it is done. Come on boys 2018 World Cup is waiting for you. By then most of you will be 20 and 21 and you will be very hot!
