The boys who took part in the selection process included 40 who were recognized at the U14 League Rough Diamonds finals, with the others chosen through grassroots football events.
According to FAM TD Benjamin Kumwenda, the lads are anticipated to congregate at Luwinga Technical Center in three months.
