Zifa communications manager Xolisani Gwesela said yesterday they had been waiting to hear from the Angola Football Federation on the travel itinerary and the Young Warriors had been expected to go into camp on Wednesday.

A statement from Zifa read: “The Zimbabwe Football Association (Zifa) would like to inform the football fraternity and the nation that the Zimbabwe national Under-20 men’s team is no longer travelling to Angola for the FESA Under-20 tournament. We have been communicating with the Angola Football Federation for the past week for them to provide us with the travel itinerary, but to no avail.

“Nevertheless, we would like to assure the nation and the football fraternity that we are working tirelessly to ensure that the technical team prepares adequately and produces a formidable and indefatigable team for the Cosafa Under-20 tournament set for December 2013 in Lesotho.”

The Young Warriors, who have been inactive for more than a year, wanted to use the tournament as part of their preparations for the 2013 Under-20 Cosafa Cup to be hosted by Lesotho in December.
