Zambia Women’s Hockey National Team Coach, Floyd Chomba, is confident that the Zimbabwe Hockey team will be a great test to his lasses ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympic Qualifiers to be held in Pretoria, South Africa.

The qualifiers will run from 29th October to 5th November, 2023.

Speaking before departure to Harare for the international friendly matches against Zimbabwe, Chomba says the friendlies will help the technical bench assess the weaknesses and strengths of the team.

Zambia hockey men’s national team Assistant Coach, David Kapeso, is hopeful the team will pick lessons from the outing.

Meanwhile, the Zambia junior hockey teams scheduled to take on the Zimbabwean junior sides will fly out to Harare later today.
