Zambia’s Copper Queens forward, Racheal Kundananji, is exuding confidence in her team’s prospects ahead of the crucial Olympic Games qualifiers against Ghana.
In the upcoming showdown, the Black Queens will host Zambia in Accra for the initial leg on February 23, followed by a journey to Lusaka for the return leg.
Fresh off her notable transfer from Real Madrid to Bay FC, Kundananji, now the most expensive player in women’s football, underscores Zambia’s advantage heading into the clash in Accra.
"Playing away is very difficult but we have the advantage and we have to use it. Winning that match or even if it is not winning but coming back with a point is better and when we come back here we finish the job," he told FAZ, the official media channel of the Zambian Football Federation.
"We want qualify because we want to go and do what we failed to do last time," said the Bay FC player.
Zambia, having represented Africa in the previous Olympic Games, seeks to replicate their success, while Ghana aims to secure its first-ever qualification in women’s football for the prestigious multi-sport event.
