Zambia will face hosts Morocco, Senegal, and DR Congo at the TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) Morocco 2024.

The Copper Queens will be looking to better their previous best record when they reaped bronze at the 2022 WAFCON held in Morocco.

It will be another battle against the Atlas Lionesses after the Copper Queens defeated Morocco in the Paris 2024 Olympics Qualifiers, and matches between the two sides are not easy.

Zambia will also renew their rivalry with Senegal, a team they defeated in the quarterfinals of the 2022 WAFCON en route to their highest-ever success at the biggest women’s football showpiece in Africa.
