FAZ Pledges Full Support for Copper Princesses Ahead of FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup

FAZ General Secretary, Reuben Kamanga, says the association is committed to ensuring that the Copper Princesses are adequately prepared for the FIFA Under-17 Women’s World Cup.

Kamanga has commended the players and the technical bench for their hard work and determination in securing qualification for the global showpiece.

He noted that the team performed exceptionally well in the qualifiers, and FAZ is confident that the girls will represent the country with pride.

Kamanga was speaking in Lusaka as he welcomed the Under-17 girls’ team from Lomé, Togo, where they played against Benin in the final round of the World Cup qualifiers.

Meanwhile, team captain, Mercy Chipasula, says the players have now shifted their focus to preparing for the World Cup.

Chipasula emphasized that a strong performance at the tournament would be the best way to repay Zambians and the government for the support given to the team.

She further stated that early preparations will be key to achieving a successful campaign at the World Cup.
