Kundananji to arrive in Luanda at midday to complete Copper Queens squad

Madrid CFF forward Racheal Kundananji is set to arrive in Luanda later today, completing coach Bruce Mwape’s 23-member squad for tomorrow’s match.

Kundananji is coming off an impressive weekend with Madrid CFF, where she scored a goal, provided an assist, and earned a penalty. The former Indeni Roses forward has already accumulated six goals in the first ten games of the Spanish Liga F.

Barbra Banda and Rachel Nachula reached Luanda at lunchtime, while Misozi Zulu, Prisca Chilufya, and Hellen Chanda joined later in the afternoon.

The Copper Queens are scheduled to face Angola on Wednesday at 17:00 before the return leg at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium on December 5, 2023.

The winner over the two legs will qualify for the WAFCON, to be held in Morocco in 2024.
