CAF hail Zambia's successful hosting of Africa Africa U-20 Championship

The Executive Committee of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has sent a congratulatory letter to the Zambian government and the country’s football governing body (FAZ) for the magnificent organization of the just ended Africa U-20 tournament.

The decision was taken by the CAF Executive Committee at its meeting on 14 March 2017 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, under the presidency of Issa Hayatou, the Executive Committee of the Confédération Africaine de Football (CAF).

Zambia won the title after defeating Senegal 2-0 in the final played at the National Heroes Stadium thanks to first half goals by Patson Daka and Edward Chilufya.

It was Zambia’s first continental title at youth level and their second after the Africa Cup of Nations title won by their senior team in 2012. Zambia's previous best ranking in this competition was when they finished fourth in 1991, 1999 and 2001.
