Zambia’s U-17 women’s national team, known as the Copper Princesses, recently celebrated their qualification for the 2024 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup with a well-deserved team dinner. The celebration came after a hard-fought victory over Morocco, securing their place in the global tournament after a decade-long absence.

The Zambia Football Federation shared the joyous occasion on social media, showcasing images of the team enjoying their dinner in a jubilant atmosphere. The federation captioned the photos with pride, stating, “Dining like champions! Copper Princesses celebrating their World Cup qualification with a well-deserved team dinner.”

The journey to qualification was challenging, as the Copper Princesses faced strong opposition from Morocco. Despite a goalless draw in the second leg on Moroccan soil, Zambia managed to secure a 3-1 aggregate victory in the qualifying rounds. This achievement marks Zambia’s return to the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup stage after their last appearance ten years ago.

As one of three African teams set to represent the continent at the tournament, alongside Kenya and Nigeria, the Copper Princesses will proudly showcase Zambia’s talent on the global stage in the Dominican Republic. The tournament will feature a diverse lineup of teams from around the world, highlighting the growing prominence of women’s football at the youth level.

The lavish team dinner not only celebrated the Copper Princesses’ sporting success but also emphasized the team’s unity, morale, and determination as they prepare to compete against top teams from across the globe.
