Spain-based midfielder Gift Siame, who plays for CD Leganés B has joined the Zambia U23 national team camp.
Siame is the earliest to link up with the locally based young Chipolopolo Boys squad.
The former Atletico Lusaka player who has continued his development in Spain with Leganés B is expected to be a key player for Chisi Mbewe.
The midfielder made his senior international debut against South Africa in November 2025, underlining his growing profile in Zambian football.
The Junior Chipolopolo will travel to Ouagadougou for the first leg on November 11, 2026, before hosting the West Africans in the return fixture at the National Heroes Stadium in Lusaka on November 15.
The tie forms part of Zambia’s campaign to qualify for the 2027 Africa U23 Cup of Nations in Egypt. The tournament will also serve as a qualification pathway to the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
