Two Pros Join Zambia Under-20 Camp

The Zambia Under-20 team has been beefed up by two foreign-based players.

Sweden based youngster Peter Mulenga and his DR Congo counterpart Simon Kapengwe have joined camp in Kitwe ahead of Saturday’s 2013 African Youth Championship qualifier against Mali.

Coach Keagan Mumba revealed that Mulenga of Swedish side BK Hacken and Kapengwe from TP Mazembe joined camp on Sunday and took part in the Monday work out at Kitwe’s Arthur Davies Stadium the venue for the crucial qualifier.

“The players arrived yesterday (Sunday),Simon Kapengwe from TP Mazembe and Peter Mulenga of BK Hacken in Sweden and today they are part of training,” Mumba said.

Mumba disclosed that he has dropped Suwilanji Mwabala of Danish side Kolding FC.

“We have released Suwilanji. He needs more time, he is a good player,” he added.

Mumba declared the Junior Chipolopolo injury free ahead of the second round, first leg match.
“We are lucky that we don’t have injuries. Lubambo Musonda of National Assembly who had a calf injuy is back in training.”

  1. Don’t just uku landalanda we need action, bucher the mali boys with a wide margin like 33 – 0 and enter in the guiness book of record for an international match

  2. # 1 but chinese dobo ikali, ati 33-0!!? Yes, its possible, remember Sate-Sate umwaiche is in the team. What about ka Mwepya Kasongo? Give players in camp Ba coach Mumba.
    Anyway what about Charles Musonda’s kids are they not Zambians?
    Lets watch that TP Mazembe boy, what position does he play?

    • Charles Musonda’s kids are Belgian by birth. For them to play for Zambia, they would have to renounce their Belgian citizenship (which is very unlikely!) and take up Zambian citizenship. The law in Zambia currently does not allow for dual citizenship.
