Copper Queens Retain Fourth Spot in Africa
The Copper Queens have successfully maintained their position as Africa’s fourth-ranked women’s football team, climbing two spots in the latest FIFA rankings to reach 62nd globally. This achievement comes despite their underwhelming performance at the recently concluded 2024 Olympic Games.
While the Olympics didn’t go as planned for the Zambian women’s national team, their consistent performances leading up to the event have allowed them to hold steady in the continental rankings. This consistency is a testament to the team’s resilience and the solid foundation they have built over recent years.
In the African rankings, Nigeria continues to reign supreme, retaining their position as the continent’s top team. South Africa follows closely in second place, while Morocco sits in third, continuing their impressive rise in African women’s football. The Copper Queens round out the top four, solidifying their status as one of the leading teams in Africa.
The Copper Queens have already qualified for the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), set to take place from December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026. This qualification marks another significant milestone for the team, as they continue to assert themselves as a force to be reckoned with on the African stage.
As the Copper Queens prepare for WAFCON 2025, they will be looking to build on their current ranking and make a deep run in the tournament. With a strong squad and the experience of competing on the world stage, the Zambian team is well-positioned to challenge the continent’s best and potentially climb even higher in the global rankings.
The journey to WAFCON will be an important one for the Copper Queens, as they aim to continue their development and establish themselves as a dominant force in African women’s football. Fans and supporters will be eagerly watching as the team embarks on this next chapter in their footballing journey.
