After a thrilling three-day tournament, the final whistle blew on the Zanaco Grassroots U17 National Football Tournament. The final games were a spectacle of high drama, with both the boys’ and girls’ finals decided by nail-biting penalty shoot-outs.
Copperbelt Province Girls were crowned champions after defeating Northern Province Girls, while Southern Province Boys secured a hard-fought victory against North-Western Province Boys. We congratulate our champions and all the winning teams.
