Lushomo Mweemba, Pauline Zulu Partnership Expected to Come Alive Against Angola 

Lushomo Mweemba will be at the heart of defense this evening when the Copper Queens take on Angola in a 2024 WAFCON qualifier. 

The Green Buffaloes defensive queenpin will likely be partnered with Elite Ladies defender Pauline Zulu. 

The duo had a chance to play together at the COSAFA Women’s Championship and seems to be working out well for coach Bruce Mwape. 

The energy of Pauline seems to be complimenting the quality and experience of Lushomo Mweemba. 

Kazakhstan based Martha Tembo is expected to start at left back ahead of youngster Judith Soko. 

At right back the battle is between Green Buffaloes Women’s Football Club duo of Esther Siamfuko and Esther Banda. 

Mwape still has an option of giving Zanaco Ladies lanky defender Thelma Cheela are first National team appearance should she prove ready for the ‘big dance’. 

Zambia will be seeking a fourth consecutive appearance at the WAFCON and build on their highest ever podium finish when they won bronze at the expense of Nigeria at the 2022 WAFCON held in Morocco. 

The Copper Queens will take on Angola on at 17h00 at Luanda’s Estadio 22 de Junho before hosting them in a return leg at Levy Mwanawasa stadium on 5 December, 2023.

Winner over two legs will qualify for the WAFCON to be held in Morocco in 2024.
