This triumph marks a significant comeback after last year’s narrow loss to Malawi in the final, reaffirming Zambia’s rising prominence in women’s football. Head coach Florence Mwila made history as the first female coach to lead a Zambian team to an international trophy, a momentous achievement for her and her assistants, Enala Phiri and William Njobvu. Mwila praised her team’s resilience and dedication, especially from the young players debuting in the national squad.
The Copper Queens will now set their sights on the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, aiming to build on their success after finishing third in 2022.
