Zimbabwe is set to miss another COSAFA tournament scheduled for Zambia next month.

The country’s FA failed to send a men’s team to the U17 tournament held two months ago and they are now likely to miss the upcoming Under-20 Championship due to financial challenges.

The tournament will start from December 4-14 in Lusaka and thirteen teams will take part.

These include Madagascar, Angola, Botswana, Comoros Islands, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Seychelles, South Africa and hosts Zambia.

The draw will take place on Friday, ensuring this year’s competition is an all-Southern African affair with no guest nations.
