Chipolopolo U-20 coach Chisi Mbewe is aiming to build on solid defence at the U-20 AFCON which will be held in Egypt from February 19 to March 11, 2023.

Speaking during the training session at Nkholoma Stadium, Mbewe says, the only way to win a tournament is to score goals and not concede.

He adds that the international friendly games against Nigeria and Senegal will be a motivation for the boys ahead of their continental showcase.

The U20 Chipolopolo team is expected to take off on Wednesday with a 23-member squad for two international friendly games against Nigeria and Senegal.

The U20 AFCON is the gateway for the FIFA World Cup to be hosted by Indonesia.
