According to reports, the ‘African team’ which will consist 8 players from Nigeria and two players each from Ghana, Cameroon, Togo and Zambia is scheduled to face Locomotive Moscow reserve side (under-21) on November 17 and CSKA Moscow two days later.
The African team is then expected to wrap up their three match game with a date with either Zenit Pietersburg or Spartak Moscow on November 21, 2008.
During the matches, their will be European Scouts mainly from Russian top clubs watching from the stands in search of a new Samuel Eto’o, Didier Drogba or Micheal Essien.
The two starlets will be expected back home on November 23 and will straight away join the Oswald Mutapa under-20 national team which starts its preps for the Cosafa and SADC under-20 tournaments next week

Good development. with the scouts in the stands the boys have all what it takes to clinch good deals. The picking of eight players from nigeria is justifiable because of their consistence with junior teams in all tournaments. I have great faith in the two selected ,they will make zambia proud. All they require is a good advisor incase many teams get interested. WEEEELEEE

Jacob scored in the 24th Min, the goal was good enough to earn his team the victory! He did pick up a yellow card late in the game, i geuss the man really means business. Hope he scores for Zambia next week.

Jacob is aiming high 5 goals in the last 4 matches is not a joke. Am are going to wait for “Zamfoot crew” to confirm before further comments. Big up

I have no doubt that Chisamba Lungu will impress if a chance is availed to him

Hello everyone,
since I’m an absolute noob in African football, can you please briefly tell me something about these players ? (I’m a fan of Zenit St. Petersburg and I’d be very glad if we could snap up some great African talent for a relatively cheap price) Their assets, negative sides, anything…
Thanks in advance
