ALBERT KANGWANDA YOUNG AFRICANS (YANGA) MOVE AFTER STELLAR SEASON WITH RED ARROWS

 

Zambia international Albert Kangwanda has completed a move to Tanzanian champions Young Africans (Yanga), becoming the latest Chipolopolo player to secure a high-profile transfer following an outstanding campaign with Red Arrows.

The 27-year-old left winger joins the Dar es Salaam giants ahead of the 2026/27 season after emerging as one of the standout performers in the MTN Super League. Kangwanda finished the 2025/26 campaign with an impressive 17goals and nine assists in all competitions. 

His move to Yanga marks another significant step in a career that has taken him across Zambia, Croatia and Sudan, before earning the opportunity to compete for one of East Africa’s biggest clubs.

Yanga, who will defend their Tanzanian Premier League title while also competing in the CAF Champions League, believe Kangwanda’s pace, creativity and attacking versatility will strengthen coach Manqoba Mngqithi’s squad.

During the 2022/2023 season Kangwanda scored 12 goals for Kafue Celtic earning himself interest from several big Zambian clubs. 

In 2022, he secured a move to Croatian top-flight side HNK Gorica, although opportunities proved limited before a loan spell at second-tier outfit NK Hrvatski Dragovoljac.

He joined Red Arrows in 2023 and  reignited his career. Back in familiar surroundings, Kangwanda rediscovered the form that established him as one of Zambia’s most dangerous wide players, combining explosive pace with direct dribbling, intelligent movement and an eye for goal.

His performances earned him a move to Sudanese powerhouse Al Hilal Omdurman later that year, although he also returned to Red Arrows on loan before producing the finest season of his career in 2025/26.

Kangwanda’s contribution of 17 goals and nine assists was instrumental to Red Arrows’ campaign helping the Airmen finish second in the league and win the ABSA Cup. 

On the international stage, Kangwanda has represented Zambia from youth level through to the senior national team.

He featured for the Zambia Under-20 side during the 2018 COSAFA Under-20 Championship and the qualifiers for the 2019 Africa Under-20 Cup of Nations before graduating to the Chipolopolo.

One of his defining moments came at the 2022 COSAFA Cup, where he scored the winning goal in the final against Namibia to hand Zambia the regional title.

He also impressed at the 2023 COSAFA Cup, finishing as joint top scorer with three goals alongside South Africa’s Tshegofatso Mabasa.

TANZANIA 🇹🇿 VS. ZAMBIA 🇿🇲 | AFCON 2023

 

FIFA WOMEN'S WORLD CUP | ZAMBIA 🇿🇲 SET TO BOUNCE BACK AFTER HEAVY LOSS

 

NIGERIA 🇳🇬 IS ONE OF FOUR COUNTRIES TO BE ADDED TO THE FINALISTS LIST FOR NEXT YEAR’S TOURNAMENT

CAPE TOWN: Striker Kelechi Ihenacho scored a stoppage time winner as Nigeria beat Sierra Leone 3-2 in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers to become one of four countries on Sunday to be added to the list of finalists for next year’s tournament.

Guinea Bissau also qualified from Group A, as Sierra Leone’s hopes of catching them were ended, while the Cape Verde Islands are through from Group B and Mali from Group G.

They join hosts Ivory Coast, holders Senegal, Algeria, Burkina Faso, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Morocco, South Africa, Tunisia and Zambia in the finals in January.

Iheanacho’s winner brought relief to Nigeria who had let a 2-0 lead, courtesy of a Victor Osimhen double, slip as Sierra Leone made a gutsy comeback to 2-2 and came close to scoring a third.

But their slim hopes were ended by a simple back post tap-in by the Leicester City striker just before the final whistle.

Guinea Bissau, who had beaten Sao Tome e Principe on Wednesday, were then als guaranteed a top two finish and a fourth successive finals appearance.

Cape Verde, who also draw heavily on players from their migrant population in Portugal, beat Burkina Faso 3-1 at home to book their place.

Former Manchester United midfielder Bebe opened the scoring before goals from Joao Paulo and Cle ensured progress.

Mali won 2-0 away against Congo to qualify for a ninth successive finals with Ibrahima Kone and Nene Dorgeles scoring in the final 30 minutes in Brazzaville.

DOGGED HOST

The return of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for Gabon was a bid to help them qualify at the expense of the Democratic Republic of Congo but they lost 2-0 at home instead.

DR Congo’s goals came from London-born Aaron Tshibola and Tanzania-based striker Fiston Mayele and they now top Group I.

Ghana would have qualified from Group E had they won in Madagascar but were held to a goalless draw and must wait for the last round of qualifiers in September to win their place.

Victory for both Mozambique and Tanzania also enhanced their chances of going to the finals with one group game left.

Algeria are the only country left with a 100 per cent record in the qualifiers as they made it five wins out of five by beating Uganda 2-1 away with Mohamed El Amine Amoura netting both and Riyad Mahrez providing an assist.

The top two teams in each of the 12 qualifying groups qualify for the finals. There are three more matches to complete the fifth rounds of qualifiers, which will all be played on Tuesday.
