Only the top three teams from the tournament will secure a place on the global stage, and with that goal in mind, the Zambian squad is working tirelessly to secure a strong <a><\/a>finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tournament will take place in Windhoek, Namibia, from April 18th to 25th, 2025. Zambia will be represented by both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s Under-21 national teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Delphister Miyato, a key striker for the team, expressed her confidence in the squad\u2019s readiness. \u201cWe\u2019re more than ready. Everyone is focused, and we\u2019re training hard because we know what\u2019s at stake. A top three finish takes us to the World Cup, and we believe we can make it.\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"825\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oydc.org.zm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/MG_4495-825x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2835\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oydc.org.zm\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/MG_4495-825x1024.jpg 825w, https:\/\/oydc.org.zm\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/MG_4495-242x300.jpg 242w, https:\/\/oydc.org.zm\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/MG_4495-768x953.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oydc.org.zm\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/MG_4495-1237x1536.jpg 1237w, https:\/\/oydc.org.zm\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/MG_4495-1650x2048.jpg 1650w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Head coach Victor Kumwenda echoed Miyato\u2019s remarks, stressing the importance of financial support to ensure the team\u2019s timely arrival in Namibia. \u201cThis team has the potential to compete with the best in Africa,\u201d he said. \u201cBut we need support.
