The Zambia Under-20 team two foreign-based call-ups have joined the team in camp in Lusaka.
Midfielder Anthony banda of Spanish 2nd division team Tontedra FC has arrived in camp and was part of the squad training on Tuesday at Independence stadium.
Also in camp is striker Constantinos Ioaanou of Tuks Academy in South Africa who, like Banda, also joined the team camped at the Faz technical centre on Monday.
The 31-member team is in camp preparing for their Caf Africa Youth Championship 1st round, 1st leg qualifier against Mauritius at home on July 24.
Zambia were on bye from the preliminary round qualifying stage while Mauritius advanced after a walkover result over Comoros.
Who is this Constantinos Ioaanou?
Thats some really strange name
Mu Greek?
46 years after independence you still want to recognize a zambian by their names.
Ba Chali. I didnt say i have to recognise him by name.
Its just a not-so-common name. It was just an observation!
I’m sure even you notice that!
Iwe chali,what independence are u talking about…better say 46 years of dictatorship..then i will agree with you…
#4 Mutoto dont bring politics in football.
Politics play a big rol in football mudalas nowadays.
now this is an argument going astray for sure.
We must be doing very fine with U-20 boyz plying their trade in foriegn leaguez. Only worry iz how U-20 are our boiz?
Gents the boy is a Zambian of Greek origin. How can you ask such a question when we have people like Guy Scott, Dipak Patel who are still Zambians? Yahshani iyee bosses. Bola panshi.
well if i was the faz president i wouldn’t worry about the senior national team now and just develop these young guyz cause they seem to be organozed and could go a lone way if trained well. bring them a very good coach from italy and take them to camps in europe, thats the only way zambian football will be built from the foundation not the top. train them well and use them late in the world cup because by then all the mbesuma’s and kagonto’s will mandalas.
by the way, everyone LOOK OUT FOR ME, I AM COMING TO PLAY FOR ZAMBIA WEN THE OPPORTUNITY COMES. I AM TRAINING IN CANADA RIGHT NOW 19 YRS OF AGE!!!!!!!!!!
JJ you better start soon. On one of your holidays report to FAZ and maybe train with one local team. Then they can put you in their data base. You are welcome. Ltarenatively send me your details……
