The Zambia Women's National Team is reinforcing its lineup for the upcoming Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) qualifier against Angola. Sara Jere and Eneless Phiri had to withdraw due to injuries, prompting the inclusion of Namasiku Lungowe and Charity Mubanga. Lungowe from ZIDS has scored 8 goals, while Mubanga from Zesco Ndola Girls has netted 6 goals. They've been called up due to injuries sustained by Jere and Phiri in recent league matches. Thelma Cheela from ZANACO Ladies is also joining the squad. With 21 players in camp, including 18 locals and three foreign-based players, Captain Barbra Banda and other key players will join directly in Luanda. The second leg is scheduled for December 5, 2023, at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola. The winner over two legs will secure a spot in the 15th edition of WAFCON in Morocco in 2024."
