Olympic Games: Mwape reveals how Zambia will stop Netherlands in opener

The African representatives are set to start the campaign against the Dutch before games against China and Brazil follow

Zambia head coach Bruce Mwape has revealed his plan aimed at stopping the Netherlands during the Tokyo Olympic games Group F opener at Miyagi Stadium on Wednesday.

Zambia are Africa's sole representatives at the Olympic games and are set to face the Netherlands, China and Brazil in their pool, and Mwape is confident of a good result should his side remain compact against the European rivals.

"We know it’s the Netherlands, the team which has a lot of experienced players, but we did well in the preliminaries for us to qualify [for the Olympics], so we expect our players to perform well in this competition," Mwape told Faz media.
