As of today when I checked, the IOC still has Zambia Womens team listed.
They are in Group F: China PR, Brazil, Zambia, Netherlands.

Sorry didn't read well earlier on, Zambian didn't pull out of the Olympics games, their Friendly game against Great Britain was only Cancelled...

I'm sorry for that Mistake

Is it true zambia have been pulled from the Olympics because of covid - 19

YES

Banyana Banyana’s Netherlands trip called off
28 June 2021 – South Africa’s Senior National Women’s team (Banyana Banyana) trip to Netherlands has been called off after five of the travelling players tested positive for Covid-19. As a result, the entire delegation has been placed in isolation.

Banyana Banyana were scheduled to travel to Netherlands on Monday, 28 June 2021 and play the hosts on 3 July in Zwolle as part of their preparations for the CAF AWCON qualifiers scheduled for later this year.
Netherlands were to use the friendly international match to prepare for the upcoming Tokyo Olympics where they are favourites to win gold in the women football category.

Coach Desiree Ellis said while the cancellation of the trip was with heavy heart, people’s health and lives come first.

‘’This is a difficult time where we are in the middle of the third wave in our country, and unfortunately Banyana Banyana has not been spared from this pandemic. Due to positive cases in our camp, the full delegation has been put into isolation, and we will therefore not be able to honour the friendly fixture against the Netherlands,’’ said Ellis. “At this moment, of utmost importance is the health of everyone – both us and our opponents – and football takes second place.’’

Ellis thanked Netherlands for the invite and wished them well at the Olympics.

‘’Let me take this opportunity to thank Netherlands for the invite and also wish them all the best at the upcoming Tokyo Olympic Games. To my fellow South Africans, please take extra care and caution out there – Covid-19 is real, let’s protect each other by wearing masks in public, keeping a safe distance and sanitizing all the time.’’

JohnBullMySon:
Playing a rusty team would be a treat!

And the squad would be different from last year as well. I would like a 4-nil thrashing at home, so that Ghana will play the next leg with fear and tension. Do you know who hosts who first?

AkinDS:
One game or two?

Will get back to you....

AkinDS:
Agree. No discountenancing the fact that she is an imposing player, with pace. The additional camping environment will be helpful for her.
BTW, what happened with Roosa? Was surprised she didn't get more game time. She seemed like she integrated well and was accepted by the team.

Zogg and Roosa were not supposed to be in this squad for the Summer Series, we were supposed to have them in Camp by September for the 6 Nations Tournament in Lagos but due to the withdrawal of some of the team regular player's, Coach had no choice than to bring them in earlier than expected..


We're hoping that Ashleigh Plumptre get cleared by FIFA, ASAP before the September Camp..

AkinDS:
who are we playing?

Can't tell yet, but Coach already confirmed that we're Camping in Europe...

AkinDS:
She is naturally shy and I think she felt a bit out of place, not in a bad way though, as she mentioned in an article I read yesterday...

She would definitely adapt sooner than later..

isan:
How can we know when we never watch her play

dex711:
Not impressed at all. The team is not good at all. Midfield is so bad that the defense is looking horrible. Asisat probably touched the ball 10 times in this match. I don't know why they do a throw-in the same way.

Hahaha, In the morning you can go to the Supermarket and but some impression from there.....

Joanney:

JohnBullMySon:
That's the same one.

It seems that Portuguese no 10 is highly rated. Ronaldo follows her as well.

Na she be Portugal Star Player just the way Asisat Oshoala is to Nigeria..

She recently left Lyon because of lack of game time...

JohnBullMySon:
A certain guy named nnamdinho.st has part of it on his IG status, check it out before its gone. Francisca Ordega did the IG live, but for unknown reasons, did not leave the recording behind. Onyinyechi Zogg disappointed me , What kind of twerking was that na ?

I really wanted to see Michelle and Esther. If you catch it anywhere, tell me then.

From Onosky story, can't upload the one from WhatsApp..

JohnBullMySon:
I wondered how she danced like a Nigerian. She's really been following us for some time.

She tried though, Chidinma Okeke taught her some of our Nigerian dance moves....

And she has only been to Nigeria Twice...

isan:
Are they not doing the initiation dance or sing for the new comers ?

They did it since Morning, Roosa Ariyo danced to that popular Naira Marley & Busiswa song titled COMING..

JohnBullMySon:
She has a lot of experience. On paper, she even sounds more experienced than Randy.

BTW don't you know a thing or two about the SE? I have never seen you on the page.

Hahaha... I do but the Women's game is written all over me. I hardly say a word or two concerning the SE, but for the SF and Women Football worldwide I'm 100% there...


For example i can tell you whatever you want to hear about the Swedish,US, English and Spanish, Brazil, Canada, Norway, South Africa, Cameroon, Ghana, Ivory coast women National Team etc, name their regular 11 but can't boost of that for the male side..
