However, the Zambian team was not left to the fate as they received what would be described as a morale booster ahead of the third place game from their President.

Mr. Hichilema who has been supporting the team throughout the competition spoke to the players and officials via video call.

He encouraged them not to be deterred by the result but to remain resolute and focused as they have made millions of Zambians proud.

The Copper Queens have already qualified for next year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup to be hosted by Australia and New Zealand.
