Zambia Women’s goalkeeper remembers former teammates

Meanwhile, Sports Brief earlier reported that the goalkeeper of the Zambian women’s national team, Hazel Nali, remembers her roots as she bought new football boots for her former teammates at Nchanga Queens FC in Zambia.

Eight years after leaving the club based in the northeastern areas of Chingola in Chingola District of Copperbelt Province, Nali deemed it fit to reunite with her former teammates.

Hazel, who now plays for Turkish women’s super league side Fatih Vatan Spor, was key in the Copper Queens squad that qualified for the Olympics and FIFA World Cup for the first time ever in Zambia’s football history. They also won bronze at the recently concluded AWCON.
