Both Australia and Zambia were defeated in their first match of group B of the ongoing Paris 2024 Olympics.
As Zambia prepares to face Australia in a pivotal Olympic clash at Allianz Riviera on Sunday, the underdogs are primed for a major upset that could reshape Group B dynamics.
Following a challenging start to the tournament, the Zambian women’s team is brimming with determination and resilience, poised to seize their moment on the global stage.
Despite their heavy 3-0 defeat to the USA, Zambia's spirit remains uncrushed. The early onslaught from the American side, including a first-half dismissal that left Zambia down to 10 players, tested their resolve.
Nonetheless, their defence held strong after the initial surge, and their ability to contain the Americans in the latter stages of the game is a testament to their grit.

The Matildas’ performance in their opener exposed weaknesses that Zambia’s potent attack, led by the dynamic Barbra Banda, is more than capable of capitalizing on.
Zambia’s technical prowess and quick counter-attacks could pose a serious threat to the Australian backline, which has struggled under pressure.

Zambia’s blend of skill, determination, and tactical discipline could well lead them to a historic victory, positioning them as a formidable contender in the knockout rounds.
