Shepolopolo wary of Zimbabwe

Shepolopolo coach Albert Kachinga says Zambia are wary of their Group A opponents at next month’s Cosafa Women’s Championship in Zimbabwe.

Zambia will tackle hosts Zimbabwe, Malawi and Madagascar in Group A of the championship to be staged in Bulawayo from September 13 to 24.

Kachinga has described the draw for the regional Championship conducted on Wednesday as fair.

“There is no team that we can say is an easy opponent because that is not going to work out,” he said on Thursday.

“There is no easy game these days, it is a fair draw but we have to work hard so that we can pull through the group,” Kachinga said.

The Zambian women starts their campaign on September 13 with a date against Malawi.

“All the teams that are there deserve to be there, for them to be in the tournament it means that they are good.

All we need to do is work hard and make sure that we do not underrate any team.”

The 27-member Shepolopolo squad is currently camped in Lusaka ahead of the Cosafa championship.
