The Uganda U-20 Women’s National Football Team, the Queen Cranes, safely landed in Zambia last evening ahead of their crucial FIFA Women’s U-20 World Cup qualifier against Zambia, scheduled for tomorrow.
The contingent of players and officials arrived at Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe International Airport in Ndola and was warmly received before being transferred to Gloria Inn Hotel in Ndola.

On Friday morning, the players held a light activation session at the hotel and will later conduct an official training session at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium under the guidance of head coach Sherly Botes.
Uganda will face Zambia in the return leg of the qualifier on Saturday, February 14, at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola. The first leg in Kampala ended in a 1-1 draw. Uganda will need either a win or a score draw of at least 2-2 to advance to the next round.

The aggregate winner over the two legs will progress to face the winner between Ghana and South Africa. That stage will be the final qualification round, where the four African representatives for the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Poland will be determined.
