Copper Queens to jet into Switzerland this morning ahead of Friday’s match 

Zambia Women’s National Team will this morning take a short trip to Switzerland ahead of Friday’s international friendly match. 

The Copper Queens will face La Nati in their second International friendly match in Europe. 

The COSAFA Champions suffered a 3-2 loss to the Republic of Ireland at the Tallaght Stadium in Dublin last week.

Meanwhile Coach Bruce Mwape now has all the 35 players in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup provisional squad currently in Germany for an international camp.

This follows the arrival of the Kazakhstan quartet of Catherine Musonda, Ireen Lungu, Hellen Chanda and Martha Tembo.

The four were the last members of the Copper Queens squad to join the team following the conclusion of matches in Kazakhstan at the weekend.

They will however be in contention for a place in Friday’s matchday squad for a pre World Cup international friendly against Switzerland in Bienne.
