Team GB’s preparation ahead of the Tokyo Olympics next month took a minor dent as their warm-up match against Zambia has been postponed. The game was to be their only one on home soil before the team departs for Japan mid-July. The postponement is perhaps more significant for Team GB than it would be to most other countries, due to the complex nature of the sides make-up. Both Scotland and Wales rightly utilised the June window for their own preparation ahead of the Women’s World Cup qualifying matches that will begin in the next International break in September. Despite the friendly game being cancelled, Team GB will benefit from having their players together for an extended period ahead of the competition starting.
