The Zambia National U-17 Football team is the U-17 football team for Zambia founded in 1929.[1] The team, also known as the Junior Chipolpolo, represents the country in international under-17 matches and is controlled by the Football Association of Zambia. In 2016, they were disqualified from the 2016 COSAFA Under-17 Championship because two players were found to have been over the age of 17.[2]
