Shepolopolo are settling down in Port Elizabeth, South Africa ahead of the 2019 Cosafa Women Championship that kicks off on Wednesday.

Zambia trained at Oval Stadium on Tuesday evening after arriving in Port Elizabeth earlier at 12h30hours.

The team’s first match at the tournament is on Thursday against Mauritius at Wolfson Stadium.

Zambia will face Namibia on August 3 before wrapping up Group B action three days later with a game against Botswana.
