Zambia has announced a training camp in Nigeria as part of preparations for the final tournament.
General Secretary of the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) Adrian Kashala said Shepolopolo will play a series of friendlies while in the West African country.
“You know that the Zambia women’s national team has qualified to the Women’s AFCON that will be held in Ghana next month," Kashala said.
“And to that effect we have organized a number of friendlies and our team will hold its camp in Nigeria in the next few weeks."
Meanwhile coach Bruce Mwape has named a provisional 26-member to begin first phase of preparations from 14 October to 3 November in Lusaka.
Shepolopolo had earlier in September warmed-up for their second appearance at the finals with participation in the regional COSAFA Women’s Championship in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, where they finished fourth.
