With the anticipation of the Olympic Qualifiers mounting, the Men's 7s Zambia National Team is diligently preparing to take on this critical challenge that holds the promise of Olympic qualification. Their relentless dedication to training and rigorous efforts are emblematic of their unwavering commitment to securing a coveted spot at the Olympics. As they embark on this journey, a glimpse of their upcoming endeavors sheds light on their path to potential Olympic glory. Kicking off earlier this month, the training regimen unfolded across two pivotal venues: Diggers Rugby Club in the Copperbelt and Lusaka Rugby Club in the Midlands. These training sessions serve as the crucible where the team's skills are honed, strategies are refined, and the spirit of competition is ignited. In the unfolding weeks, the roadmap of preparation takes shape: On the 19th of August, selected players will delve into their second dedicated training sessions, with one cohort convening at Lusaka Rugby Club, representing the Midlands players, while another gathers at Diggers Rugby Club, signifying the Copperbelt players. Following suit on the 21st and 23rd of August, the intense training will continue for the handpicked Zambia A/B team players. The Midlands and Copperbelt select will alternate their training grounds at Lusaka Rugby Club and Diggers Rugby Club, respectively. A significant marker on their journey falls on the 26th of August, as the Midlands and Copperbelt select players converge at the Mopani 7's Tournament. This competition serves as a compelling arena for players to exhibit their prowess, with Zambia A and Zambia B teams showcasing their skills. Transitioning into the final stages of preparation, the period from the 29th of August to the 2nd of September will be dedicated to a comprehensive team camp. During this time, the collective strategy will be fine-tuned, ensuring a harmonious and coordinated effort as they approach the qualifiers. The culmination of these meticulous preparations leads to the pinnacle of the journey. Starting from the 4th of September, the final 15 selected players will journey to Zimbabwe, immersing themselves in a heightened state of readiness as they gear up for the qualifiers scheduled from the 14th to the 16th of September. As the curtain rises on this monumental endeavor, the collective support of the nation becomes an invaluable source of motivation. Zambia's Men's 7s National Team stands on the precipice of potential Olympic qualification, fueled by their commitment, skill, and the unwavering spirit of their fans. Let us rally behind them, infusing them with the spirit of unity and determination.
