Chinzimu, Kabzere to join U-20 team in Nigeria return crash

European based stars, Faith Chinzimu and Rose Kabzere, will be available for the return leg of the U-20 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Nigeria at the Bingu National Stadium on Saturday, Football Association of Malawi has confirmed.

This has been said by FAM President, Fleetwood Haiya, at the National Bank of Malawi media awards for the NBM U-23 Football Championship and NBM Women's Premiership at Money Men in Blantyre on Tuesday.

Haiya said the duo were not available in the first leg away in Nigeria as the club excused FAM because of important matches they were involved.

"Faith [Chinzimu] had her team [BK Hacken[ playing in the UEFA Europa Cup and thank God that they became the inaugural winners of the cup while Rose Kabzere had her team fighting for relegation zone in the Arkema Premiere Ligue in France so we understood the excuses from the team but now they have confirmed their availability on Saturday," he said.

The Bank pumped in K1.5 billion for the two tournaments for a year contract meaning they planned to extend the deal after assessing the outcomes of the tournament.
