Prisca Chilufya Shines for Juarez in Season Opener

In the opening match of the new season, Zambian international and Copper Queens attacker, Prisca Chilufya, showcased her skills for Mexican side Juarez in a 1-1 draw against Querétaro. The talented forward played 68 minutes, making a significant contribution to her team’s performance.

Chilufya, who made the switch to Juarez from Turkey last year, had a promising start to her Mexican football journey. Her impact on the field is anticipated to be a key factor for Juarez as they aim for an improved season compared to the previous year, where they finished in the sixth position.

In the 2022 season, Juarez accumulated 28 points, securing eight wins, four draws, and suffering five losses. The team scored 30 goals while conceding 19 throughout the 17 games played. With Chilufya’s consistent performance, Juarez is poised to build on last season’s efforts and target a higher position in the league standings.

As Prisca Chilufya rejoins her club in Mexico, her form will not only be crucial for Juarez but also for her national team, the Copper Queens. Having played a part in Zambia’s successful qualification for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) WAFCON, she is set to continue her contributions to both club and country.

With the league season underway, Chilufya aims to pick up where she left off in her impressive club form. Her performance for Juarez will likely be closely monitored as she endeavors to secure a spot in the national team squad for the upcoming fixtures, including the back-to-back 2024 Paris Olympics Qualifiers against Ghana in February. The Zambian forward’s versatility and goal-scoring prowess make her a key asset for both Juarez and the Copper Queens.
