ZAMBIA Under 20 national soccer team today encounters Senegal in the Total 2017 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) at the Lusaka’s Heroes Stadium.
At the tournament Zambia in the tournament topped Group A with 9 points while Senegal topped Group B with 6 points thus making the teams to have something in common.
To reach the finals Zambia beat South Africa 1 goal to nil in the 115th minute in the second half of extra time and Guinea via a 1 nil score line.
And despite alleged usage of charms by the Senegalese at the tournament as spotted in a video that has gone viral on social media in which a player gives a ‘charm’ to his teammate after getting injured in a match against Guinea, Zambians have predicted victory for the Beston Chambeshi charges.
Still in sports, First National Bank Chief Financial Officer Mr. Ackim Chalwe says sports development requires a multi-faceted approach and partnership with the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ).
Chalwe was speaking during the official donation of the check worth one million, five hundred kwacha to the under 20 National team and formally announced that they are the official sponsors of the under 20 national team.
He said that they have agreed with FAZ to a 3 year contract regardless of the results of Under 20 Afcon tournament which is going on and the South Korea World Cup in May 2017.
