Shepolopolo coach Albert Kachinga has predicted that the second round of the 2016 Rio Olympics qualifiers against Zimbabwe would be tough.
Zambia and Zimbabwe face-off in the first leg of the Olympics qualifiers on 24th May at Nkoloma Stadium in Lusaka before the return match in Harare.
The Zambian team has regrouped in Lusaka to begin preparations for the campaign.
Kachinga is upbeat that Zambia will triumph over Zimbabwe.
“We are looking forward to the game against Zimbabwe. There are no easy games these days,” Kachinga said.
Last year, Shepolopolo saw-off Zimbabwe to qualify for their maiden Africa Women Championship.
“I think we will get a positive result,” Kachinga said.
He added:”I am pleased all the girls are now in camp. We have called experienced girls.”
After the second round, there will be two more stages before Africa’s envoys at the 2016 Olympics are decided.
