-Kabwe Warriors and Zambia national team striker Emmanuel Mayuka on Monday left for trials at Israel club Maccabi Haifa.
Warriors sources disclosed today that Mayuka will be on trials at Maccabi for 7 days.
“He (Mayuka) left on Monday and they sent the letters for his trials a long time ago so we were under some pressure to do this deal,” the source said.
Mayuka has missed both Monday and Tuesday of the Zambia Under-20’s training camp in Lusaka.
The Zambia Under-20 team is in camp preparing for their Rwanda 2009 Caf Africa Youth Cup 2nd round, 1st leg qualifier away to Egypt Under-20 to be played on Friday September 26.
The source said Mayuka will join the team in Egypt after attending his trials at Maccabi.
Mayuka’s absence means he will miss Warriors’ commencement of the BP Top 8 title defence this Saturday against Young Arrows whom they meet at the Trade Fair Grounds in Ndola.
The Warriors striker is this years top scorer with 12 goals in all competition- 4 of those goals came with the Zambia national team.
-Elsewhere, Faz has banned all political parties from displaying presidential election campaign symbols or chanting slogans at all Faz organized matches.
The ban comes as political parties begin a frenzied campaign ahead of the October 30 presidential elections that will take place following the death of president Levy Mwanawasa on August 19 in Paris after suffering a stoke.
Faz communications officer Erick Mwanza advised all political parties from using football match gatherings as an avenues to campaign for their respective presidential candidates.

Please FAZ kindly include Lamisha Musonda in the under 20 national team, it is high time you start using this player. This is how the young player can start get used to african football before he can be included in senor team later.
wats we lack in Zambia is agents to pays players to europe, why to a jews’ country. why not england. we the former english clone don’t even have a player in england, its a shame for Zambia
# 1 kapuli kobe are you the coach? If you are related tell the chap to show us that he can deliver. You must be very corrupt kapala.
NUMBER 1
Number 1, why should you ask FAZ instead of the coach ,you are being very unfair to FAZ and the potential talents in rural areas of the country. The coaches need to have the chance of seeing the boy the field, secondly there is more competition at under 20 level than the senior side in terms of places in a team. Kindly convince the nation why Lamisha should be included in the team. You can also look at the footballing career of the great Pele’s son if its worth talkingabout
#2…”me again” naiwe ukazilemba volongosoka…what are you talking about?
any news about Collins Mbesuma? Has he been traced now?
Just been watching SABC news this morning and the FAT BOY appeared on the training pitch yesterday. He has even been excluded from the MTN 8 cup final. The excuse from his manager Nathan Chanda
Mbesuma said he was attending to a family problem and that is why he delayed his return to South Africa. He did not elaborate further.
“Collins is a breadwinner for his family and had some issues to sort out since he has been away from Luanshya for over a year. He had, however, informed his club about his delay to join the club,” he said.
dont die like chaswe nsofwa ka.but isreal is a good land,milk and honey
Asernaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal
#1 is jst expressing his opinion. Its high time all the stakeholders had a close look on Zedian sons abroad; Lamisha, Charles Bimbe- Renken 2 name jst 2. I wish Mayuka all the best, Isreal cld prove a gud startng ground jst lyk Yakubu! Gud luck lad.
10. why should you only name a few. this is an old way of saying you dont know the others. why cant you give us a complete list of all the foreign toddlers you want to be considered. you are the kind who just jump on the bandwagon without any sensible contribution but just to be seen to be saying something. keep quiet if you dont have anything on this topic rather than giving half baked statements. your name tells it all. you are a drunkard
Mbesuma’s young manager Chanda is not qualified, he cant manage that boy because he Chanda is a beneficiary. Can serious people manage Collins before he joins the like Harrison Wawa Chongo and Elija LITANI and not Tana.
Collins has not improved much, he managed the Togo-Zambia game because the other players(Felix, Kalaba,Chris and Hachipuka) were good thereby not exposing Collins.
but why do we continue sending our players to these leagues??? and what hapenned to Mayuka’s trial stint on Portugal?
Good luck to the under 20
All the best mwaiche. Lets hope it wont be the usual story of “we are waiting for the club to contact us” after the trials!
I think KW is goofing on Mayuka. The boy should have gone to Porto FC Straight away. Am afraid, because I do not want this young man to end up at Kaiser Chiefs or Pirates in RSA. I wish him good luck in Israel. Am sure this time he is clinching the deal. For our Under 20, I predict a 1-2 victory in Egpyt.
are you guyz sure that all these players you have named for the under 20 are bellow twenty. what i know in zed there are football years and those on NRC.
Gud luk Emmanuel Mayuka, Israel is the GREAT LEAGUE.It belongs to UEFA.
Pipo lets be realistic and not emotional, surely can we beat them in eygpt.#15 am Zambian just like you but beating eygpt, dont know, i fancy a draw………. big up to junior chipolopolo boys.
Thats the club were evertons Yakubu played for befor going to England.It’s definately better than playing any where in Africa.
#16 ,how old are you? Are you jealous? Do your research especially in West Africa and you will start calling our team U17.
Zambian open you minds, Mbesuma is fat and he isn’t good anymore. He failed to play in europe, its a shame and it seems like every Zambain is ok with it. I expected more from Mbesuma than this, He was gonna be a National hero.
Its normal for footballers to cheat their ages
The trasfer window has closed in eaurope,so what trials is Mayuka undergoing Israel
