FAZ president Kalusha Bwalya has hailed the Zambia Under-17 squad for qualifying to the Niger 2015 CAF U-17 Championship.
The Chris Kaunda coached Junior Chipolopolo team on Saturday beat Uganda 2-0 away in Kampala to clinch their first ever African Youth Championship qualification via 4-1 aggregate score-line.
Kalusha said it was not easy for Zambia to beat Uganda away in Kampala.
He said the under-17 have made Zambia proud by qualifying for the Junior CAF Championship.
“I want to congratulate Under-17 Coach Chris Kaunda and his ‘ troops’ for a job well done. The team has done Zambia proud. To go away from home and get a result is never easy,” he said.
“Want to thank everyone who has been involved for us to achieve this milestone. This is the first time for Zambia to qualify to a CAF U-17 end Tournament. Sky is the limit” Kalusha said.
The youth team is scheduled to arrive back from Uganda around 15h30 at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport in Lusaka.
Iwe Kalusha Bwalya,
“Nishi palya tuleshupana na Lupiya and nakongoele ulipiya lilya”! Personal money in FAZ, an institution’s account?
Mambala Iwe, Zambia deserves best practices for the future generations. Dictatorship even in soccer surely, Charles Musonda’s child, Jr is playing for Chelsea by the way.
Ulupiya.
Kalu, all coaches and the junior teams involvedin CAF qualifications, job well done. Now is the time to prepare these boys for the CAF finals in question. Please, get these junior teams to start playing good friendlies even with other continents… it will be good experience for our coaches, too. Best wishes!
