The Copper Queens, Zambia’s women’s football team, are gearing up for the FIFA World Cup, but their coach, Bruce Mwape, has emphasized that no player is guaranteed a spot on the team.
As the team prepares for two friendly matches against South Korea, Mwape urged his players to remain competitive and fight for positions on the squad.
Mwape stressed that players need to prove their worth and that positions are up for grabs. He noted that the women’s game has advanced significantly in recent years, and players need to match the higher standards in order to compete favorably at the world level.
In his remarks, Mwape emphasized the need for players to work extra hard and demonstrate that they deserve to be on the team. The coach noted that women’s football has improved greatly, and the World Cup requires players with a strong mentality.
