Shepolopolo have stepped up their preparations for next Week’s 2020 Tokyo Olympics qualifier against Botswana in Lusaka.

Zambia and Botswana will next Wednesday clash in the first leg match of the final qualifying round at Nkoloma Stadium.

Shepolopolo deputy coach Beauty Mwamba said preparations are progressing well despite the absence of key defenders Anita Mulenga and Agness Musesa.

Mulenga and Musesa will miss the Botswana match due to unspecified commitment.

‘The team is shaping up well. We are helping players to catching up on fitness,’ Mwamba said.

She is expecting a tough match against Botswana.

‘It will be a tough one. Botswana is a good side, them having eliminating South Africa means a lot. Of course we want to overcome them. We really need to get the result,’ Mwamba said.

Zambia are in the final qualifying round after eliminating Zimbabwe in the second round.
