Zambia face China today with the Copper Queens seeking to bounce back from the disappointment they suffered in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games opener.

The Group F clash will take place at Miyagi Stadium whereas eventually, the Netherlands date Brazil in the group’s other match.

Zambia, coached by Bruce Mwape, are smarting from a 10-3 loss to Netherlands last week.

Football Association of Zambia says the Copper Queens squad has been boosted by the availability of Rachael Kundananji and goalkeeper Musole N’gambo with defender Martha Tembo returning from suspension received in the final qualification match against Cameroon.

Striker Barbara Banda, who scored a hat-trick in the game against Netherlands, will lead the attack.
