Copper Queens Achieve Equal Bonuses with Men’s Team”
The Copper Queens, Zambia’s women’s national football team, have made history by receiving the same winning bonus as their male counterparts, the Zambia Men’s National team, during the FIFA Women’s World Cup. In a groundbreaking move, Zambia has become the first African country to introduce equal pay for both its men’s and women’s national teams.
The decision to provide the same winning bonus of $5,000 (K90,000) to both teams signifies a significant step towards gender equality in sports. It reflects the recognition of the hard work, dedication, and talent exhibited by the female athletes who proudly represent their country on the international stage.
By implementing equal pay, Zambia is setting an example and sending a powerful message about the value and importance of gender parity in sports. The move not only recognizes the achievements of the Copper Queens but also acknowledges the significant strides that women’s football has made in recent years.
The decision is likely to inspire and empower female athletes across the continent, reinforcing the notion that their contributions to the sport are equally valuable and deserving of recognition. It marks a pivotal moment in African football, fostering an environment where female players can thrive and aspire to greatness on equal footing with their male counterparts.

Zambia’s commitment to equal pay for its national teams signifies a progressive mindset and a desire to promote gender equality in sports. The move aligns with global efforts to bridge the gender pay gap and challenges traditional norms that have often marginalized female athletes.
As the Copper Queens continue to compete in international tournaments, their equal treatment in terms of winning bonuses will serve as a powerful motivator and a testament to their worth as athletes. It is a stride forward in the ongoing quest for gender equality in the sporting world, and Zambia can be proud of leading the way in this important movement.
