Published on November 1, 2019, Harambee Starlets are in for a surprise when they face Zambia in their 2020 Olympics qualifying match on November 8 in Nairobi.
According to Zambian midfielder Mary Mwakapila, the team that lost 3-0 to Harambee Starlets in an international friendly in Kitwe last year is a different team altogether.
"I am very happy that my team is in the fourth round and I believe we can go all the way. The team we have now is a tough one and I believe we shall carry the day. We're ready and waiting," Mwakapila said.
Despite the team's radical squad overhaul, Corazone Acquino and Mwanahalima "Dogo" Adam, who were their chief tormentors at the Author Davies Stadium, are still part of the team.
Starlets held their first training session ahead of the match on Friday and will play a friendly match against the FKF National Centre of Excellence team next Monday.
The second leg match will be played on November 11 at the Nkoloma Stadium in Lusaka, Zambia.
