Zambia’s football pride continues to soar as Copper Queens forward Racheal Kundananji has been appointed to the FIFPRO Global Player Council, joining an elite group of 37 world-class footballers tasked with shaping the future of the game. This council serves as the official representation body for active players, ensuring their voices influence decisions made at the highest levels of global football governance.
Kundananji’s appointment places her among some of the most decorated names in world football, including World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister (Argentina), Women’s World Cup winner and Olympic champion Crystal Dunn (USA), five-time UEFA Women’s Champions League winner Lucy Bronze (England), Arsenal legend Vivianne Miedema (Netherlands), Liverpool star Wataru Endo (Japan), and African standouts like Marshall Munetsi (Zimbabwe) and Rasheedat Ajibade (Nigeria).
The full lineup of council members spans across continents, featuring players such as Alessandro Bastoni, Tierna Davidson, Magdalena Eriksson, Jackson Irvine, Elena Linari, Caroline Weir, Chris Wood, Antoine Semenyo, Tameka Yallop, and many more. Kundananji’s presence on such a powerful panel not only elevates her personal profile but firmly positions Zambia as a respected voice in football diplomacy.
This appointment goes far beyond prestige — it gives Kundananji a platform to advocate for player welfare, fair contracts, equal opportunities, and better conditions for African footballers, particularly women who continue to face structural challenges in the professional game. Her inclusion is a major win for Southern Africa, where player representation at global decision-making tables has historically been limited.
As Kundananji continues to shine on the pitch, she now steps into a new role off it — not just as a striker, but as a policy influencer and ambassador for African footballers worldwide. Zambia is no longer just participating in the game — it is now helping shape its future.
