Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema has expressed immense pride in the Zambia Copper Queens’ exceptional performance in their debut FIFA Women’s World Cup appearance, where they are competing against the world’s best.
Hichilema acknowledged that the team has faced defeat so far, but he recognized that every loss comes with both pain and opportunities for growth. He encouraged the team to commit to building on this valuable experience.
“To further develop our team’s capabilities, we should provide our girls with more exposure to competitive friendlies and strengthen the women’s domestic league,” Hichilema wrote on his Facebook page.
