Zambia’s head coach, Nora Häuptle, stated that her squad is determined to secure a victory against the Super Falcons of Nigeria, according to reports from DAILY POST. The Copper Queens aim to punch their ticket to the quarter-finals of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations during Saturday’s match in Rabat against the reigning champions.
Häuptle’s team began the tournament on a high note by defeating the Egyptian Cleopatras 6-0. Although Zambia suffered a 5-0 defeat to Nigeria in the previous tournament’s quarter-finals, the coach insists they will not play for a stalemate. She emphasized that her team consistently pursues a lead rather than settling for a draw, noting that the tactical flexibility displayed against Egypt provides a path to potentially surprise the Nigerian side.
