The aggregate winner of this two-legged tie will earn a coveted spot in the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup, which will be held in the Dominican Republic. This would be a historic achievement for Zambia, as their last qualification for the U17 World Cup was a decade ago, in 2014.
The team is determined and focused, with coaching staff emphasizing the importance of maintaining their form and composure. “We have a strong lead, but we cannot be complacent. We need to stay disciplined and execute our game plan,” said the head coach.
The Copper Princesses have received an outpouring of support from fans back home, who are hopeful for another stellar performance. The Zambian football community is rallying behind the team, eager to see them secure their place in the global tournament.
