Zambia Under-20 ended a six-year wait for Cosaafa Youth Championship glory on Tuesday after winning this year’s title.
Honor Janza’s side beat defending champions South Africa 1-0 to lift their first Cosafa Youth Championship crown since 2003.
Young Arrows striker Chukwa Lungu’s goal in the 40th minute sealed Zambia’s win over nemesis South Africa.
South Africa has previously beaten Zambia three times-twice in the finals and 2-0 in their last meeting last year in during the preliminary stage of the same competition held in Kimberley.
Keep it up boys, atleast your future is bright.
I WAITED ALL THIS TIME TO GET THESE RESULTS. CONGRATS BOYS, STAY AS UNITED AND REPLACE SENIORS WHO SEEM TO HAS LOST DIRECTION IN ALL DEPTS. BRAVO JANZA.
This is commendable boys, keep it on. Let’s hope you won’t go to drink your heads out of success. Use your allowances to up your education, don’t waste your money on charles glass.
bravo janza i have trust in you.If you are calm you achieve
Well done boys we shall now put you in the senior team to replace these guys in the National Team. Congratutions boys keep it up.
Congratulations guys atleast you have done us proud unlike your big brothers who failed to beat Zimbabwe and they went further in putting shame on themselves by losing to unknown Zanzibar.
This is our only consolation this year. At least you have made us proud. Keep it up.
This are good boys. They have not disappointed us as the Senior Chipolopolo did in the CECEFA. The big boys are a disgrace to the nation. Well done Junior Chipolopolo

Is it my imagination or our own zambian coaches are better than herve renard.Please guys its not the players but the coach who has wrong strategies.Give Janza the same players that renard is using and trust me the results will be different.Lets get rid of this frenchman physical trainer before he brings more shame to the country.The under twenty was made up of locally based players,meaning they came from the league that renard picks his players from, but the chap picks the wrong players and uses the wrong strategies.Congratulations boys thisis not the end for you but just the beginning.
Congrats Honor Janza and team! Atleast you are better than the national team coach, can someone tell me his name—————–
How i wish Janza had coached the chipolopolo at cosafa & cecafa tournaments,we could have lifted one of those cups.The man incharge of the sinior team like defending.Always in his line-up there are 6 defenders,hw do u score,let him given the u/17and a local trainer take the team to Angola.
Forming a winning team takes time and effort, the best way to maintain a winning team is to keep it together. So here is my suggestion, the boys in the U20 must be kept together for the next 6 years with infusions here and there in areas that are seen to be lacking. FAZ must come up or assign individuals in each province that are going to monitor and scout for players. Time of talking is long gone, action is needed now. Lets build on the U20 winning team for us to go to 2014 BRAZIL. We can do it, oh Yes we can and we shall. Congrats U20 and Janza. We are proud of you
I salute the boys for a job well done. It was not easy to overcome South Africa with all the powerful spells of magic cast by their very powerful sangomas all abound in the air. Maybe its about time Kansundila also started appreciating the powers of abena Dr Vongo, Sansakuwa, Katele Kalumba etc because they proved themselves well worthy of our support by prevailing over those of his friend Zuma’s Sangomas.
SO CHABE — I TOTALLY AGREES WITH U ,SOME OF THESE LADS THEY DON’T EVEN SEE ACTIONS FROM THERE RESPECTIVE CLUBS.BUT WITHIN SHORT PERIOD THERE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER THE MAN HAS TRANSFORMED THEM TO A BETTER TEAM.RENARD IS NOT A COACH TO TAKE ZANBIA TO HIGHLEVEL BUT HE IS HERE TO ENRICH HIS CV.KALU PICKED A WRONG MAN AND WRONG EXCUTIVE.EMAGIN TO PLAY A FRIENDLY GAME WITH KOREA ON 9/01/10.THREE DAYS B4 WE TAKE ON TUNISIA,WHAT ARE WE GOING IF OUR DEPENDABLE PLAYER GETS INJURED,LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO NYAMBE.FAZ SHOULD WAKE UP TO WORK NOT TO BE IN RSA ALL THE TIME.
Iam waiting for you boys at break point and Lazymens please the allowances we drink untill our bellies surrender.
Kalu is letting our soccer down, to hell with his handpicked Renard, these guys have failed us. Phiri did a better job than Renard, isnt there a way of removing muwelewele Kalu?
good news for a change please stay focused boys. congrats!!
Kanshi nika 1-0 fye!
Number 16 !!! How can you encourage young boys to drink until their ‘bellies surrender’!!!!! Ive never heard of a pub called LAZYMENS in my whole life!!! What a name. Anyway its only in Zambia where we have pubs such as NAMWELA ZANGA, BOODWALA, DRINK BEER SAVE WATER etc.By the way congrats young Chipolopolo.
nO 19, MULETASHA
At least we can end the year on a good note.Next play a friendly match with the Zambia senior at Kholoma Stadium. I am sure you will beat them 5goals to 0 Zero. Keep it up and never be spoted at pubs like breakpoint or Fyakufilwafye in Chilulu compound.
I just wonder where such great talents go after such tourneys..we will NEVER hear of these lads 1 year from now, mark my words..instead of concentrating in mouldng this budding talents, there boss is discussing European League at Superspot, a clear indication he is not concerned. I wonder if he even knows line-up yaba Choma Eagles,Konkola Blades, Afrisports or Petauke United…no wonder he wants to try boxing now…NALEKA!!!
#19 wat else do u want kanshi, u cnt even appreciate for the little thing that these boys have brought. Be patriotic. A win is a win in spite of the scoreline.
iwe chi # 19 learn to appreciate, in bemba they say ushitasha mwana wa ndoshi.its people with a mentality like yours who always brings us down dont be like politicians who never appreciate the good deeds of others am sure you are among those PHDs MC Wabwino sings about.GO Zambia GO #13 am in support of your suggestion.
keep up Guys you have done us proud.
God bless you all.
Hey young Chipolopolo Bravo, Keep the spirit burning. Thanx for your efforts.
We are proud of you Lads. Iwe 19 imisango ububi tamutasha kumwenu !!!!!
This is glory brought home Ka…. Waliletapo ichikombe iweeee mwachusa.
Chi #25…Hohoho! ka Cosafa cup eko mwashukila, coz you only play with tuma weaker teams. You play with the likes of Egypt under 10, mukamona efyo bakamilya! akamutwe!
Goood boys…keep it up. Lets hope the madalas will do the same in Angola
Ba Katalina #13 & 28 please just accept defeat if you are South African.Go!Go! young Chipolopolo u hv conquered what the senior team as failed.
I concur with #10. Renn….is not a good coach. It is the coach who is spoiling everything. Phiri is a far much better coach than Renn….FAZ must send Janza to spear head the team in Angola otherwise we come out in early rounds. Mark My words. Kalusha must resign he is a let down and a disgrace to the Football world. Ka Katalina, shut up!
Congratulations are in order. Ba Katalina muletasha. Please Ba Janza just live the national soccer team to them bene Kalusha and Renard, concentrate on the boys atleast you are working, hardwork humbleness and discipline is the key. All that lacks with the national soccer team no wonder they lose all the time.
Eyes on the ball. May our mates enjoy the humble pie baked by our in-house chef Great Kalu. This points to the direction that we all want. Have sound grassroots. The current U20 are the stars of tomorrow. With our talent indentification and grooming specialist Renard ‘Sly Fox’ Herve we shall see another Emanuel Mbola being nurtured. Already we have upcoming Thomas Nyirenda and Jimmy Chisenga to fill the boots of Muzo and Chintu Kampamba. How I miss Nyambe ‘No Nonsense’ Mulenga.
Congrats Mr Janza!!!!! Keep it up. At least Kalu has a trophy to lay his hands on.
#33, you the wrong chap, how can you attribute the hard work of coach Janza and his to Ali-kalu? He is not the reason the lads beat SA. That boxer should attempt WBC title, maybe he’ll succeed.
BRAVO! so proud of you our sons.You have brought joy to our hearts.keep it up!
Well done lads. At least something different from reading about Kalu beating journalists. I agree with #13 he is very right let this team be natured properly so they can produce good results. The french man and Kalu should be kept away from the boys…he likes slapping that one he might end up slappings the boys, so lets protect them from Kalu and the french physical trainer.
Bravo Baiche!!!!!!!!!! you have done Zambia Proud 100%. Please FAZ keep those boys, thats the only grassroot soccer we can boast of for now. We will need them as Chipolopolo material
