With six days to the commencement of the FIFA Women's World Cup, Shelolopolo of Zambia has replaced their injured first-choice goalkeeper Hazel Nali, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Nali was ruled out of the competition earlier in the week after she sustained a tear in her anterior cruciate ligament.

The Football Association of Zambia on Friday named a replacement for the hardworking goaltender.

ZESCO Ndola Girls goalkeeper Leticia Lungu was called up and registered as a replacement for Nali.

Debutant Zambia are in the same group as Japan, Spain and Costa Rica.
