The national Under-17 girls football team’s preparations for the 2018 World Cup qualifiers have been severely affected as players are engaged in school commitments.

The team will face their Zambian counterparts in the preliminary round fixture to be played in Zambia on Sunday afternoon.

He said the team is made up of school going children, hence they were held up.
