Sports Minister wants changes in Copper Queens’ midfield, defence and technical bench

Sports Minister Elvis Nkandu has called for complete overhaul of the Copper Queens technical bench.

This follows the early exit of the team at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

The former Zanama FC chairman also feels that there should be changes in midfield and defence.

“When you ask me from a personal point of view, I think there is a need to make some overhaul changes, especially in the midfield and defence, even the technical bench.

“That I will not hide from you; it’s my personal point.

The Copper Queens crashed out of the #Paris2024Olympics without a win.

Zambia lost 3-0 to USA in the first game before a heartbreaking 6-5 defeat to Australia.

In the final game, Germany inflicted a 4-1 defeat on Bruce Mwape’s ladies.

The Copper Queens will be looking to redeem themselves next at the Women’s African Cup of Nations in Morocco.
