U-17 settle down in Uganda

The Zambia Under-17 squad has arrived in Uganda for this weekends return leg of the Niger 2015 CAF Youth Championship final qualifying round.

The Chris Kaunda coached Junior Chipolopolo team landed in Kampala in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Zambia are carrying a 2-0 advantage from the first leg match played in Lusaka close to two weeks ago.

The team trained at Lugogo Stadium on Thursday afternoon.’

Delegation leader and FAZ committeee member Lee Kawanu complained of hostile receiption in Uganda.

Kawanu accused Uganda of playing mind games ahead of the crucial match.

“Firstly, no food was prepared for the team so we slept on empty stomachs, they wanted to separate the team into two groups with players and officials going to some rat hole of a hotel,” he said.

Kawanu added:”The boys were told before travelling to expect the worst but stay forced so this will not affect them at all.”

  1. But Ba Lee nabena, how can a team sleep on empty stomachs, dinner of T-bone is just $2 or K10pin taimuzi 30 people is iko to = $60 or K400pin. Even Lee himself can pay for that.
    Just go to some boarding school and lodge there. Don’t those “Under 17” speak english? Which boarding school will not want to have V-show with a Zambian International Team?
    Vote me for FAZ president, mukamona, all Africa will change with all those “mind-games”.

    • I think you should be smart enough to understand that he was trying to register a complaint which can be made officially to caf.The first step is to make it known to the media and the officials ,then they can go ahead and file a complaint when it has already been heard. It would be lack of logic to be complaining about missing a meal and add that they could only manage to eat from outside or private supply
