The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has congratulated the under-20 Women National Team for winning the Cosafa championship.
FAZ president Andrew Kamanga says the victory by the under-20 girls reaffirms Zambia’s reputation as the regional kings.
The Zambia under-20 concluded the five-team Cosafa tournament with a 1-0 over Mozambique to record a 100% winning record at the games played on a round robin format.
“On behalf of my executive and the Zambian football community, I wish to congratulate the Zambia under-20 team and technical bench for this sweet victory of the Cosafa championship,” Kamanga says.
“Not too long ago the Copper Queens were crowned champions at the Cosafa tournament and now the under-20. Our under-17 girls and boys will be competing at the Cosafa next month and we have no doubt they will be inspired by their seniors,” he says.
“This adds to football’s gift to the nation on the occasion marking Zambia’s 60th Independence anniversary. The Chipolopolo qualification to the AFCON a few days ago was yet another great day in our game.”
