Olympic Qualifiers: Nchout and Onguene headline Cameroon squad for crucial Zambia clash

Ajara Nchout and Aboudi Oungene are in the Cameroon squad for the fifth and final round of their Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games qualifier against Zambia.

Alain Djeumfa also included 17-year-old Cameroon-born French youth international Mireille Tchengang, who plays for Paris Saint-Germain, in his 26-woman list for the meetings in March.

Tchengang, who was born in Douala to businessman Raymond Tchengang and raised in France, has starred for PSG's U19 team, winning the French U19 Cup last year to earn her call-up.

Having seen off Ethiopia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Ivory Coast, head coach Djeumba on Thursday commenced camp preparations in Yaounde ahead of the two-legged encounter with the Shepolopolo.

For Zambia, they edged Angola, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Kenya to seal the first meeting with Cameroon since the 1-0 group stage win at the Cosafa Women's Cup two years ago in South Africa.

The first leg is scheduled for Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium, Yaounde on March 5, with the second leg billed for Nkoloma Stadium, Lusaka five days later.

The winner between the two teams will clinch Africa's ticket to Tokyo, while the loser faces Chile in a continental playoff in April.
