“The consistency and sheer determination to reach three finals and win two is commendable,” NGOCC Executive Director, Anne Anamela, has said in a statement issued to RCV News in Lusaka today.
Ms. Anamela says it impressive that the Copper Queens emerged champions of the 2024 COSAFA edition under a female coach, Florence Mwila.
