Collins Mbesuma‘s son has received his first national team call up, which is a significant achievement in his football career. The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) recently announced the provisional team for the upcoming 2023 Under 17 African Youth Cup, and it includes an impressive 48 players. Among the talented group of players is none other than Collins Mbesuma‘s son, Mphatso Mbesuma, who has earned his first national team call-up.
The Under 17 African Youth Cup is a highly anticipated tournament that showcases the best young football talent from across the continent. This year’s tournament will be held in Algeria, and the FAZ has wasted no time in assembling a top-notch team to compete for the coveted trophy.
The inclusion of Mphatso Mbesuma in the provisional team is a testament to his skill and hard work. He is following in his father’s footsteps, and his call-up to the national team is a significant milestone in his football career.
The FAZ’s decision to name 48 players in the provisional team is a bold move that reflects their commitment to developing young talent. It also shows that they have confidence in the depth and quality of talent available in the country.
As we eagerly await the tournament’s start, we can only imagine the excitement and anticipation that the selected players are feeling. We wish all the players, including Mphatso Mbesuma, the very best as they represent their country on the international stage. Let’s hope they bring home the trophy!
