The Zambia Under-17 are 90 minutes away from qualifying for the Niger 2015 CAF Under-17 Championship as they face Uganda in Kampala in the return leg of the final round on Saturday.
The Junior Chipolopolo will trot into Nakivubo Stadium at 15h00 with a 2-0 advantage from the first leg played in Lusaka two weeks ago.
The Chris Kaunda coached side has settled down in Uganda after arriving in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Kaunda has declared his youth team ready for the return match against the young Cranes.
“We are all fine and very focused. We are looking forward to consolidating the win from the first leg,” he said.
Kaunda added:”But we shall approach the match without considering the 2-0 advantage, we shall attack them because to us the tie is still 0-0.”
Meanwhile, Uganda have accused Zambia of using over-age players in the first leg.
The Uganda FA has since launched a complaint against Zambia to CAF and are now waiting for the ruling.
The Cranes are right NO AFRICAN PLAYER CAN BE UNDER 17 and play competitive soccer, what about School? EVEN an under 17 boy in Zambia DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO SPEAK AND WRITE ENGLISH, HOW COULD THEY GET PASSPORTS AND SIGN FOR THEM? But Uganda is very sincere and more advanced than Zambia because in UG someone by the age of 15 HAS ALREADY FINISHED FORM 5 HENCE THEY CAN PLAY SOCCER
Anyoko you are out of your mind. So when you were 17 you didn’t know how to write your name? Fu?
Final score was Uganda 1-2 Zambia. Both Zambia goals by Patson Daka. Uganda can now only be saved by their appeal to CAF relating to ages of 3 Zambian players.
Patson Daka has scored for the under 17 in Uganda. Half time score Uganda 0 – Zambia 1.
Don, game is now over. Uganda 1-2 Zambia. Thanks for supporting the boys.
