Chitapankwa Youth Academy -The Raiders FINISHES 2ND PLACED.

Raiders' D2 Boys seals the qualification and Subsequent promotion to Northern Province's Elite League; Division 1 with 63 points, trailing the champions, Kasama Warriors with 16 points.

The Cesu Bonse (Raiders) Boys move to position 2 after beating Pride Stars by a goal to nil in the last game of the 2025/2026 season played yesterday at home.
A thrilling header from Joshua Simwinga AKA ba Yubu, resulted in an only 49' minute goal which was enough to give us the lead. Ba Yubu is quite clinical when it comes to headers.

The Raiders' family are super Proud and Excited about your qualification.

Division 2, it was nice doing business with you.
Division 1, here we come!
We shall raid our own glory!

Breaking News!

TECHNICAL QUALIFICATION - CHITAPANKWA YOUTH ACADEMY.

After a triumphant win against Muchona FC in a 1-3 match played today in Mbala, Chitapankwa Youth Academy -The Raiders have technically qualified to Northern Men's Division 1 League for the 2026/2027 football season with a game to spare.

Technically, Chitapankwa sits on position 3 with 60 points, 4 points away from their closest trailers (Milima pirates and Super Strikers) who sits on 4th and 5th positions with 56 points each but separated by goal difference of 16 and 9 respectively.

This gives a sure qualification to Chitapankwa who still would finish 3rd on the log even if we lost the last game against Pride Stars. However, should Jazzy liners (Currently occupying 2nd position with 61 points and 31 goals) lose their last game and Chitapankwa wins, we surely could finish 2nd on the table with a projection of 63 points. 🤔🤔

Congratulations Boys!

You truly are the Raiders!
You fought and raided your through the way to qualification.

The Raiders family can't be more prouder than they are today.

APPRECIATION POST

As the 2025/2026 ZPL - Women's National League - Northern Zone came to a close last weekend on 25.04.2026, Chitapankwa Youth Academy -The Raiders family and management wishes to extend appreciations to every supporter, every stakeholder, every sponsor and every shareholder, minor or major for having had tarried with us through to the end of the season.

The season came with its own challenges and achievements, we had our ups and downs and frustrations but you still held your faith in the management and the girls.

Raiders, without you around, through the season, it would have been a very hectic and long one. You made it easy with your support of any kind that you rendered, be it monetary or material. For sincerely supporting and making the dream of the girls remain alive through to the end, God will surely replenish you abundantly.

More so, the season also saw a Foundation becoming a Raider for the 2025/2026 football season. Chisase Foundation became the Raiders' Kit sponsor for the season. The foundation earnestly and specially clad our girls in 2 sets of Jerseys and 2 sets of training bibs. The season was easy to play through while beautifully clad in Chisase Foundation powered kit.

Anyhow, the girls might not have performed to your expectations as they finished on 10th position, but there is hope for tomorrow as they still have maintained the slot in the National League and pledge to work extra hard in the 2026/2027 season. We look forward to more partnerships even in the next football season.

Thank you so much Raiders!
