MIGHTY Warriors coach Sithethelelwe Sibanda has named the provisional squad for back-to-back Olympics qualifiers against Zambia.

MIGHTY Warriors coach Sithethelelwe Sibanda has named the provisional squad for back-to-back Olympics qualifiers against Zambia.

The bulk of the 23-member team participated at the Cosafa Women’s Championship (CWC) early this month while some were part of the provisional squad for CWC 2019.

Black Rhinos midfielder Daisy Kaitano and Weerams goalkeeper Onai Chingawo are the only players who were part of the bronze-winning CWC team who are not in the squad.

In the absence of Chingawo, Harare City Queens’ teen goalkeeper Cynthia Shonga — who was part of the Cosafa Under-20 team — has earned her first senior team call-up.

Preparations begin today and Zimbabwe play the first leg in Lusaka on Wednesday.

The reverse fixture will be played at the National Sports Stadium on September 1.

Fans will pay $2 for the rest of the ground, $5 for bays 15 to 18 and $20 for the VIP section.
