The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) President Andrew Kamanga has emphasized the need for developmental teams to have a more well-rounded trajectory in his weekly column. Kamanga stated that winning should not be the only focus for these teams and that there is enough positivity in the team that they can work with going forward. Furthermore, Kamanga revealed that there are a few more international opportunities for junior teams that will be rolled out as the year progresses. He added that the FAZ will continue to participate in high-level youth tournaments such as the Croatia Invitational and the Georgia UEFA Youth Tournament. According to Kamanga, exposure to these tournaments is a vital part of the progress seen in some of the players in the project, particularly those who participated in the under-15 level. The FAZ President also said that the organization is committed to upskilling coaches for various national teams. As part of their Memorandum of Understanding with Moroccan counterparts, Kamanga said that the FAZ is sending under-17 Coach Bakala to Morocco for a CAF A license course will be on that program with Green Buffaloe's trainer Masautso Tembo who is already in that country. This is on top of the other two slots for the CAF Pro License where the association will be sending Wedson Nyirenda and Copper Queens gaffer Bruce Mwape. Kamanga stressed that there is no substitute for knowledge in coaching, especially with the fast-changing dynamics propelled by technology. The FAZ President added that they remain on course to set up the coaching school through their Memorandum of Understanding with the Croatia Football Federation to widen the beneficiary pool. The FAZ's commitment to developing its national teams and coaches is a positive step toward the growth of Zambian football. The move to upskill coaches will undoubtedly lead to a more professional approach to coaching, which will have a positive impact on the development of young players. Picture-FAZ Media
