UK duo join Zambia U20 camp

UK-based Zambia U20 call-ups striker, Mwiya Malumo, and midfielder, Lifumpa Mwandwe, joined camp in Rwanda.

The duo are the only foreign-based call-ups summoned for Saturday’s 2019 U20 AFCON first round, first leg qualifier away against Rwanda.

Lifumpa, 17, a midfielder of Shrewsbury Town, and 18-year-old Wigan striker Malumo joined the Zambia Under-20 team on Wednesday evening in Kigali after flying out from Lusaka on the same date.

Zambia on the other hand arrived earlier on Wednesday morning in Kigali from Malawi where they had set up a five-day camp and played two friendly matches while there.

Zambia beat hosts Malawi 1-0 on Saturday and club side Silver Youths whom they beat 3-1 on Tuesday.
