Austrian based teenage striker Patson Daka has left his base and is on his way to Lusaka ahead of the CAF Under-20 Africa Cup of Nations which is being hosted by Zambia.
The lethal striker is expected to arrive at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport at 12:25 and will go straight to Lusaka’s cool breeze lodge where the Beston Chambeshi side have set base.
The arrival of the Kafue native will complete the number of players in the squad in Beston Chambeshi’s side.
The Junior Championship will start on Sunday with Zambia taking on Guinea at 15h00 at Heroes Stadium while Egypt will face Mali at 18h00 at the same venue later in the day.
Group B action will start on Monday at Ndola’s Levy Mwanawasa Stadium.
Cameroon was the first country to arrive in the early hours of Tuesday and spent a night at Lusaka’s Rudiscon Blue hotel while Senegal arrived in Ndola later on Tuesday.
Top four and world cup here we come………
Done and dusted!
That would be a Wonderful thing to ever happen to modern Zambia. I look forward to that.
But we’ve been there before – The Andrew Sinkala intake and Sunzu one ( Canada 2007 . The only problem is that don’t seem to develop to fullest after such tournaments. We could have done better as a national team with the likes of Sinkala, Fwayo, Mayuka and Rogers Kola. In fact Kola was so god he got an invitation for trials at Real Madrid after that tournament. Only Sunzu is playing in mainstream Europe for a First division team.
That will be nice…not could be nice…
Top 4 finish is not enough. they must just win that cup.
Our boys should not be complacent they should not think that they have already won the cup but they should take one game at a time and we should not underrate our opponent.remember what happen to the senior Afcon in Gabon the host were eliminated in the first round so our boys should not be over excited of been the host but they should fight like soldiers
How old is the teenager that was being expected back? Reporters!!
I think we will win the trophy. Great bench. Great team. Why not? Great tournament!
I think either Guinea or Egypt just arrived. The just seen the bus from airport heading to Chelstone area.
They have come to challenge the mighty Chipolopolo Jr. we remain unmoved we shall show them on the pitch.
go copper bullets go we are behind you take each game seriously till the final whistle of the tournament when we shall sing”ole ole ole we are the champions”.go Jr bullets go.
On paper young chipolopolo boyz looks stronger than an other team. Patson daka is the most respected player owing to his rich profile. I hope the boys will rise to the occasion. Gud luck boyz
