- Handball is an Olympic sport played by seven players on a court. Musa Kambundu plays left wing for Zambia's national team and hopes they will qualify for the 2020 games in Tokyo. He joined the country's military team at age 16 and used his transport money to buy bread for his family. "One of my biggest dreams is to play handball out of Africa, to make my living through handball, and I know it will happen" he says. Filmmaker Austin Meyer tells Musa's story in this poignant short.

Amidst the struggles of everyday life, Zambia's national team is hopeful for a chance at qualifying for the 2020 Olympic Games. What are your thoughts on their story?
To think just buying bread could make your parents so proud. I’d love to see these hard working young men make it good luck !!!
Hello everyone! I'm the filmmaker of this short documentary, and I want to thank you all for taking the time to watch the story, and I want to thank National Geographic for giving this story a platform. If you have any questions about the filming of this story, reply here and I will answer!
Austin Meyer nice video! Do you think that they are actually good enough to qualify or is it unlikely?
Asdfghjkl Thanks for watching. To be honest, I know so little about team handball that I have no idea. I’ve never played the sport, never watched it, and never saw them play against an opponent. So I don’t know! But they have had impressive results against some of the best in the region, which is a good sign!
Thanks for a good vid. Wish more people existed everywhere like those guys with that kind of determination and drive for more than themselves!
Austin Meyer I think it's great that you did this!! I wish them the best. Such great young men! So, thank you for sharing this with us! 😆😆
@@bracket0398 The world would be a much better place! 😊😊
*I hope they make it, I’d love to see them!*
Haha hope so but hard to make it
They wasnt even close
This dream team looks amazing
I feel like handball is a really overlooked sport.
I allso think that it will grow eaven bigger.
It's growing, even the US has a 10 year plan to improve their handball and that's a country which historically has ignored handball for decades, but even they are investing and growing the sport.
It is the second most popular European sport
@@OriginalPuro In fact, they have just signed with Verizon. It is a sponsorship deal. The US is inviting coaches from Sweden and Hungary to teach players. The CEO of Verizon is Swedish and is a former handball player.
its popular just Not in america
Handball is nothing like an overlooked sport. There's hardly a team ball game except of football that's bigger at all !
Sports brings people together. For example a guy from Zambia can play handball with a guy from the US and a guy from Asia.. It's really like a language that isnt spoken.
@thaNorthStar.com 😹
I live in US I'm ,my good friends I play soccer with are from Egypt, Pakistan, US, and Mexico I was born in Spain 😺
True!!!
They are my favourite handball team from now. Come on boys👍
There is power in thinking positively. Your dream will come through if you believe it with all your heart. I wish y'all well and good luck. Shalom
I bless the rains down in Africaaaa
I used to play this when I was a kid in Cuba great sport and this guys are the champs!!!
Hope this video leads to some sponsors for them! What a great story! Hope they do well and their families get some royalties from the inevitable Disney movie!
I'm from switzerland and i play in the swiss national handball youth team... My dream is to invite these guys to train with us and just show them that no matter where you're from handball is handball.❤ In my opinion there is no better sport to show friendship and respect to ur opponent. And i'm sure it would be so much fun to play with them!!
If someone reads this, who has contacts to the coaches of this team or to anyone that can do something... please let me know i would give everything to make this happen❤
Seriously imagine giving their national team a real training facility!
Seriously it should be mandatory for international leagues to contribute some cohesion funds so they can help grow the sport!
SO WHOLESOME! Great video.
In the spirit of the Olympics the top 20 nations should donate money, training and supplies to groups like this around the world.
Wow you guys y’all been working hard to achieve this dream!! Y’all got this I’ll be praying for this team so they can realize that dream become true! God will open those doors for y’all!! 💙🙌🏻
I fall in love with this game
The things we take for granted, are the things others wish they had. Puts life in perspective and helps to appreciate what we have and not focus so much on what we don’t
Awesome! Wishing them enormous amounts of luck!!!!!
3:01 just look how happy he is😫😫😫❤️
Wish these guys Good luck & hope they bring Gold to their country👏
My hopes are with you all... I want to see that one gold for Handball men's event go to these guys.... There's nothing more inspiring than this... No courts for practicing, players are gripped by poverty, but their is spirit is more valuable than the Olympic Gold.....
Heart-warming story, nicely told. Hope they win it all!
We don't think how little things like buying bread make someone proud, you don't have to climb a mountain to find a good place in someone's heart, it only depends your intentions, sometimes action speaks louder then words!
Iam also handball player in tamilnadu , Zambia players I appreciate u because I am very proud to seemed and 😍
Prayers to you and your team! God speed🙏🏻
I already love this team!
I'm cheering for you guys!
Ya it's very happy to see those guys playing
More countries need something like this in Africa some people hand is just they life the world need to know the game is for all☝🏾❤️

Go Zambia! Go!

Africa, such a beautiful land.
Congratulations! As you go further towards your goal of the Olympics, you may play teams that play differently than you. Learn all that you can from them! Looking forward to watching you in Tokyo!!

"For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands."
- Isaiah 55:12
This is sport! Real sport!
Let´s go Zambia 💪
I cheer for you, Zambia and Musa Kambundu!
There's no getting past the fact that many of the best athletes in the world come from regions of poverty, Cristiano Ronaldo, Marit Bjørgen, Tyson, Federer, just to name a few..
Started with nothing and now they have everything.
PS: someone donate them two handball goals!
They are actualy decent you know.
Theyre tough And there shot is on point. I honestly think that they could do somethink with there carrier.
love and support
Hope one day you guys will play Olympic games
Handball will be developing through over the world
"Play handball pray handball"-this is the quotes for my handball teams
Good luck guys
Very inspirational
Keep training. I hope they win the Zone Six to have more opportunities. They are ambitious, they just need the investments and winning moments.
Noirfifre Noirfifre they won! It showed at the end of the video! So happy for them:')
Good team and good luck 💪💪👍👍
These guys just got a fan In Croatia and i really wouldn't mind to see "Iznad svih Zambia"
Perseverance is the key to success, pray and have faith to God, everything will turn right.
Hopefully this team developed well.. and also they can make it a movie. "The journey of zambia handball" or any title that fits the scene 😁
Nothing impossible. People can do everything. Try hard, you guys can do it. if you die It's different. Nobody can avoid death.
It’s like one of those underdog sports movies but in real life...
Also oh yeah yeah
It's called documentary.
app ChillyN oh yeah yeah
Hope they will succeed in all dreams😊
And todays kids cry because their parents bought them iphone 12 instead of iphone 13, while these people are happy to put bread on the table, this world is like - "more for us less for you"
I love how they listen to hip hop and r&b in Africa
Best of luck!
amazing, there should be some kind of donation, I would happily give them some money
Come on boy's that's your time to deliver
I would cheer for them
Go!go!go!go! You can do it
Good for them
I kind of hope they will smash my national team just because of this video.
They are very good
This must be the brotherhood.
Hope they reach their goal
