Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>FOOTBALL Association of Zambia (FAZ) has rubbished assertions that the national team played in an Under-23 tournament while in Turkey during the FIFA international window.

\u201cThe Zambia team is not part of the said U-23 tournament. Malawi were in Zambia and acquired their Turkish visas from here and the notion they gave us was they are going there with their national team and also no agreement was made with our agent to play in an U-23 tournament\u2026 We want to rubbish the assertions that Zambia were competing in an U-23 tournament. I don\u2019t know how that can make sense when we only played two games. How then can a winner be determined? It doesn\u2019t make sense,\u201d Kashala said.<\/p>\n

A fixture circulated on social media for an Antalya Africa Cup citing Zambia to play Congo, Liberia against Benin, Togo pitted against Sierra Leone, Togo U-23 against Tajikistan U-23 and Kuwait U-23 verses Malawi U-23.<\/p>\n
