Meanwhile, the Womens football tournament semifinal draws will see Zambia face South Africa on Thursday while Zimbabwe will take on Namibia.

An improvement by the women team but they must beat their rivals RSA who have been a pain in their flesh for a while now. And the boys must pull up their socks. Goaless draws in two consecutive matches is not very good as hosts!
# 1 forget it.zam girls road to the final ends here. FAZ needs to improve the structures for women soccer to get any recognition.i suggest the soccer governing body to organize a female league to start with
Our girls really strugle when it comes to play south africa. they need to pull up their socks on this semi final otherwise they are out. there is need for FAZ to introduce the womens league. it will boost the women soccer in the country.
the boys need to know that the point of the game is to put the ball in the back of the net! te nchusha! or poma dimba!Â
the girls need to stay away from vices and concentrate on playing.
Both the boys and girls team should also watch their diets. They should also watch about what leisure time they have. In Zambia there is a tendency where people are not devoted to what they do. After these games you will be surprised where you can find some of these guys; drinking kachasu and they only get serious when something is coming up.
That is why our sports men here finish in no time.
