Zambia U17 Women’s National Team trio of Esther Musialela (Solwezi Academy Queens), Jessy Zulu (Green Buffaloes on loan from Pataaki Girls) and Theresa Musatila (ZESCO Ndola Girls) have continued to intensify their one-year La Liga Talents Sports Program in Madrid, Spain.
The trio who are clocking three months stay in Madrid in a few days time were identified at the 2022 Region VI Games in Malawi where they were part of the Zambia U17 team that minted Silver Medals in that particular tournament.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with The ZamFoot Crew from Spain, Musialela said she is elated with how the program is going and she is optimistic that this program will be successful as they have learnt a lot so far.
“Everything is going on well here, the atmosphere is amazing and the programs are great. Though it is difficult sometimes to interact with some of our friends who can’t speak English, we are enjoying and learning a lot because the place has nice football facilities,” Musialela told the ZamFoot Crew.
The Zambian trio were recently involved in action with their La Liga Academy team that managed to record a victory and a draw edging a Colombian side 4-1 before playing to a 1-all draw against a Brazilian side during some games played from Madrid.
The La Liga Talents Sports Program which has both theory and practicality has in their ranks 8 African young starlets who were identified and evaluated by the La Liga Sports Project Department.
Those in attendance include three from Zambia (Esther Musialela, Jessy Zulu and Theresa Musatila), one from Tanzania while Nigeria and South Africa have two representatives each.
The young lasses are expected back in Zambia in June next year upon completion of their program.
La Liga Talents Program is an academic sports program organised by La Liga and held in ESC Centre and NBA in Villaviciosa de Odon (Madrid) where the candidates will study and be given practical training.
