Zambia Under-17 Women National team Coach Kangwa Kaluba says his technical bench has summoned 45 players to camp.
The team which commenced preparations for the 2020
Cosafa tournament slated for South Africa next was taken through the paces by Coach
Kaluba at Barca Academy.
Kaluba said he has roped in half of the players from
the 2019 inaugural Cosafa tournament while the other half comprised first
timers.
He noted that most of the players were not in good
shape arising from the Covid-19 induced break from all football activities.
“The majority of the players are not in good shape. We
all know the reason, the league has not been active due to the Covid
challenge. We could see that the
majority of our girls are struggling,” he said.
“From the list we have, we have half the team from
last year and the other team is new. The under-17 has a four year project and
one of the goals is to produce quality players that will graduate to the senior
team.”
Kaluba also stated that the Women Under-17 is a four
year project and one of the goals is to produce quality players that will
graduate to the senior team.
He further said the team would be aiming to do better
than last year’s third place finish in Mauritius.
Cosafa has set up a tentative calendar subject to the
covid-19 situation in the region that will see the under-17 women tournament
played from October 15-25.
