The Senior National Women’s Team (The Mares) are geared up for the two friendly games to be be played against Zambia at the Nkoloma Stadium in Lusaka.

The first of the double fixture encounter is to be played on Friday 29th April 2022 and The Mares Assistant Coach Alex Malete believes that the team can use the friendlies as part of their preparation for the Africa Women’s Cup of Nation which is slated for Morocco in two (2) months time.

“We have been assessing players who have been with us in camp and we believe that the two friendly games will help further our preparations for the tournament”, said Malete

He further believe that they have studied their Zambian counterparts well and they will use that to their advantage in terms of preparing the team for the tournament.

“Zambia is a strong side and even in the FIFA rankings they are above us, they qualified for the Olympics after they beat Cameroon 3-1 and even the AWCON they are going there for the third time which says a lot about them so we are expecting a tough game”.
