Zambia will face Guinea in the open game of the Zambia 2017 U20 Championship at Lusaka’s Heroes Stadium, on February 26, 2017 after the opening ceremony.
The hosts match will be followed by another Group A match between Egypt and Mali in what will be the first double header at the 50, 000 capacity.
Ndola’s Levy Mwanawasa Stadium will be home to Group B countries. Cameron, South Africa, Sudan and Senegal will be based on the Copper belt.
The final Group games will be played at the same time but the host nation’s final game against Egypt will be played at Heroes Stadium.
The semi finals will be played on 8th and 9th March, and the only chance Copper belt fans might get the chance to watch the junior Chipolopolo is if Zambia will come second in the group.
The third/fourth playoff will be act as curtain raiser to the final as both games will be played at Heroes Stadium on 12th March.
It is not clear.. If both games will be played at the same time in the last group game in group A for example, where will they be played?
CK thats the question bazamfoot tell us .
CK thats the question bazamfoot tell us .Obviously its nkoloma and arthur davis .
But according to CAF, there are only 2 host venues. If this is the case, the teams will have to make more flights than usual.. which is rather cumbersome.
Zamfoot clarify on the venues…
Mwisho evn myself am not clear on dat 1, zamfoot need to come on air to do some clarification
i like the way 50 000 capacity has been stressed out, as if the stadium will be packed.
Article needs a little work. Not great clarity
Recommend you just put up a table with the fixture list
Bt y no games for Zambia under 20 in Copperbelt?
i think ni arthur davies stadium in Cooperbelt and in lusaka nkoloma stadium
Which broadcaster????
When they say the games will be played at the same time, then the other two teams will fly to Ndola,since they be using two vanues.
games like these ones entry must be free in order for a lot of fans may troop in our lads needs a lot of support.
Chipolopolo, good idea but how will Faz make $? They need the gate takings (ticket fare).
I’ve no doubt Lusaka fans will fill up the stadium.
where can I buy a ticket
Heroes Stadium has artificial Grass? Please anyone with info.
no the only stadium with an artificial turf in zambia is independence stadium
NO THE ONLY STADIUM WITH AN ARTIFICIAL TURF IN ZAMBIA IS INDEPENDENCE STADIUM
Finally we can watch a game in Lusaka. The copala people must travel to Lsk for a change.
I love the balancing act ba Faz finally we can watch a match from the capital.
Exactly 26 more days to go & evidently no proper opening ceremony preparations going on except Peter Makembo & his choir!
Anyway it doesn’t have to be flamboyant! As long as the games start. Lol
My humble appeal to all soccer fans,don’t boo any team,just support the team of your choice.Mind you this will be our first major tournament to host.I’ve said this because of late,will have been booing visiting teams.
