All Set For Women’s U-17 Dominican Republic Departure

by · Published · Updated

Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) president Andrew Kamanga has revealed that the under-17 girls will set off for Santa Domingo this week after having been delayed by some visa glitches.

In his president’s corner column, Kamanga said the association has resolved the issues, stating that the team is now set to depart for the Dominican Republic.

Kamanga believes that the team still has time to acclimatize before the tournament that kicks off on October 16.

“We are happy that everything is now resolved and the team is set to leave soon for the Dominican Republic. With the tournament kicking off on October 16, there is a window to adapt and possibly play one or two international friendly matches with some teams in other groups,” Kamanga said.

Kamanga added that the team has been camped for a long time and should be in good shape to compete.

“The team has been camped locally for over a month and is expected to be in good shape by the time they play their opening match,” he added.

Zambia is in Group D alongside Brazil, Japan, and Poland.
