Zambia Women’s Basketball National Team Head Coach, Noah Mabutwe, says the girls will put up a good performance in their first game of the FIBA Zone VI AfroCan and AfroBasket qualifiers, as they know what is at stake.
Speaking to Diamond Sports after Tuesday’s morning training session in Bulawayo, Mabutwe says it will be tricky to kickstart their campaign in the qualifiers against the host country, Zimbabwe, this afternoon because of their home crowd advantage.
He adds that the team needs the support of fans back home in order to achieve their goals even as they aim to make the country proud.
The Zambia Women’s Basketball National team will look to qualify for the AFROBASKET as it will be their first appearance in 12 years.
