UNDER-20 SQUAD WILL FACE KENNEDY MWEENE’S NEPHEW

MBABANE – The National Under-20 have to beat nephew to Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper, Kennedy Mweene if they are to progress in the COSAFA Under-20 championships.

Bradley Mweene is part of the Zambia Under-20 tentative squad to play in the championships where they are to face Swaziland, Uganda and Malawi in Group A.
The championships will take place in Kitwe, Zambia from December 6 to 16.
The Zambians are both holders of the regional championship and were also crowned African champions earlier this year, but it is largely a new group of players that will contest in the championships.

According to cosafa.com, almost all of the players are 17 years old or younger, with midfielder John Mulalangabo the youngest, having just celebrated his 14th birthday.

Zambia coach Mumamba Numba successfully led the Zambian side to glory at the COSAFA Under-17 Championships in Mauritius this year, with many of his players now taking the step up to the Under-20 side.

That includes joint top-scorer with the Under-17s, Lameck Banda and the highly-rated Prince Mumba.
Meanwhile, the local side led by Mandla ‘Sitofu’ Dlamini is in camp preparing for the games.
The National Football Association of Swaziland (NFAS) Marketing and Communications Officer, Muzi Radebe said there was progress as preparations are concerned and they will go to full-time camp when schools close.
