Better luck next time.
This shouldn’t be news. Who cares?
Thanks

And in other news…their male counterparts, the Chipolopolo have been kicked out of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations by Niger following their dismal performance. Coach Honour Janza is very pleased with the performance of his boys and said it could have happened to any participating team…
Sorry for shipolopolo ! Whish you all the best next time
It was expected anyway.
We were not expecting too much from our Girls seeing its their maiden appearance at the continental showpiece. Women football is just budding in Zambia and we hope the technical bench has learnt some thing. I just implore the technical bench and FAZ to fund women football more so that we can have strong local leagues in all the provinces and the national team should be picked from across the country not in Lusaka. that to me is not the national team but lusaka select side. all the best next time.
