The Zambian government has announced that it will take full responsibility for the stay of Hazel Nali, the Zambian women's national team goalkeeper, at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in New Zealand. Nali was ruled out of the tournament due to a knee injury, but the government has agreed with the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) to allow her to stay with the team. She will be taken to India for medical treatment, and then she will return to New Zealand to join the team. "We are committed to ensuring that Hazel Nali receives the best possible medical care," said Elvis Nkandu, the Minister of Youth, Sport, and Arts. "We also want to make sure that she can support her teammates from the sidelines." Nali is a key player for the Zambian team, and her absence will be a major blow. However, the government's decision to take full responsibility for her stay is a positive step, and it will help to ensure that she can support her teammates and the country.
