Zambia Senior Women’s National Football Team yesterday left for Zimbabwe were they will play that country in the first leg, second round of the Cameroon 2016 Africa Women Championship qualifier.
Coach Albert Kachinga named his final 18 member squad which saw almost the whole team that outclassed Namibia in the first round make the final squad.
Goalkeeper Chiko Nkhoma and Ireen Lungu who were part of the squad that played against Namibia miss out and have been replaced by Ngambo Musole and Mary Mwakapila respectively.
“We have a better side but we are not going to underrate Zimbabwe. We knocked out Namibia and they knocked out Tanzania. We are leaving no stones unturned because Zimbabwe are also preparing as hard as we are. We expect them to give us a good run,” Kachinga told Fazfootball.
The game will be played on Wednesday April 6 at Rufaro Stadium in Harare.
The squad:
Goalkeepers: Hazel Nali (Nchanga Queens), Ngambo Musole (OYDC)
Defenders: Anita Mulenga (Green Buffaloes), Annie Kibanji (Green Buffaloes), Martha Tembo (Chibolya Queens), Emelda Musonda (Red Arrows), Jane Chalwe (Red Arrows), Grace Zulu (Indeni Roses)
Midfielders: Esther Mukwasa (Moba Queens), Mary Wilombe (Red Arrows), Barbra Banda (Bauleni United Sports Academy), Rhoda Chileshe (Zesco United), Mary Mwakapila (Bauleni United Sports Academy), Misozi Zulu (National Assembly), Milika Limwanya (Zesco United)
Strikers: Grace Chanda (Zesco United), Hellen Mubanga (Bauleni United Sports Academy), Noria Sosala (Indeni Roses)
Good Approach , let’s see what is store for us. ba Lazim (Lazaro’s of Zimbabwe)always give Zambian teams a hard time.
But when I watch their league and compare to what I have seen in ZPL the first 3 sessions, I am encouraged and think our league game has come of age again.
Any update on this game. If you can share kindly do so. Best to Shipolopolo!
