Aggrey Chiyangi’s Under-17 team road to Rwanda begins in a fortnight time with a preliminary round clash against Uganda.
Chiyangi’s 28-member provisional squad gores into camp in Lusaka on April 1 to begin preparations for the Caf Under-17 Cup qualifiers for the final tournament to be hosted by Rwanda next year.
Zambia Under-17 will face Uganda Under-17 during the weekend of April 9-11 with the return leg to follow a fortnight later.
The team will be camped at the Faz technical centre next to Independence stadium all through the Easter weekend.
Meanwhile, winner over both legs will face two-time Fifa World Under-17 Cup winners Ghana in the first round at the end of September.
The winner from that first round two-leg tie will advance to the final qualifying stage set for November to face either Liberia, Guinea or Senegal.
