It is a revolution in women football, what is dissapointing is taking over coaching from lady Beauty Mwamba back to Ba Bruce Mwape. Beauty brought all these winning revolution and girls getting jobs in Europe.
Ba Bruce can be technical director at FAZ, he good. But Beauty is the best fit as women coach.
Bruce has been there as well all along.
Start getting visa and letters and other documents you need for them to travel to Tokyo don’t wait last minute or making uncalled for demands on the players if they are to play in the team…sha
Impressive indeed , well done girls , we pray that FAZ will also be impressive in facilitating smooth travel arrangements.
