Ahead of Zambia's 2024 Olympic Games qualifying match against Black Queens of Ghana, midfielder Ireen Lungu sat down with FAZ TV to talk about the much-anticipated clash.
“Everyone is ready, and we have been pushing ourselves. The league has helped us a lot, so I think everyone is in good shape. The first match in Ghana is important because if we get the three points, then we are good to go. Our aim is to win in Ghana,” said Lungu who plies her trade for Kazakhstan's BIIK Shymkent.
“Pressure is there but the only pressure is to carry home the maximum three points. That is the pressure that we have,” she added.
The Copper Queens touched down in Ghana on Tuesday to intensify their preparation for the match on Friday at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The Black Queens will be hoping to beat the Zambians as they are chasing their first-ever appearance at the Olympic Games.
