Zambia Under-20 national team midfielder Patrick ‘Bomber’ Gondwe has been named the Young Sportsman of the year at the National Sports Council of Zambia Awards.
The Young Nkana midfield maestro will also be going to Spain for trials after he was named the Player of the Tournament at the just-ended Cosafa U20 Championship in Lusaka.
The 17-year-old Young Nkana midfielder will be going to try out with CD Numancia who are currently competing in the prestigious LaLiga Smartbank Spain’s second division, second only to the exalted LaLiga Santander.
This is a result of the Council of Southern Africa Football Associations (COSAFA) forging a partnership with the Spanish football league, LaLiga, for the just-ended 2019 COSAFA Under-20 Youth Championship.
Gondwe was a stand out performer scoring two goals and being involved in most of the Zambia attacks throughout the tournament.
Zambia beat South Africa 3-0 to win their eleventh title thanks to a brace from Jonathan ‘Mbombo’ Munalula and a goal from Francisco Mwepu.
Congrats youngman.We need to do a recap up on our football players.This year senior Cosafa cup, we need to feature the combination of the Undet 17 and under 20 Cosafa winning team players.For added. experience add U23 players who have never featured for the senior national team.In this way We will be able to monitor our junior players progression.
You are right. There is no need of sending old players to Cosafa. All players representing Zambia should be under the age of 23. Take a leaf from the English coach who has given chance to very young players at Senior level
