Olympics football: Zambia will be a force to be reckoned with in Africa – Kundananji

The Copper Queens won many hearts despite failing to make it to the quarter-finals after losing to Brazil on Tuesday

Zambia midfielder Rachael Kundananji believes they have sent a warning to the rest of Africa that they are the best on the continent despite their exit from the Tokyo Olympic Games on Tuesday.

The Copper Queens, who were taking part in the Games for the first time, failed to make it to the quarter-finals after losing 1-0 against Brazil in their final Group F match.

Zambia, led by coach Bruce Mwepu, however, won many hearts despite the exit as they battled to lose 10-3 against Netherlands in the opener and then played out an entertaining 4-4 draw against China in their second match.
