Zambia has become the first country, alongside Costa Rica, to be eliminated from the ongoing women’s world cup in Australia and New Zealand.
The Copper Queens were drawn in group C alongside Spain, Japan, and Costa Rica. They were one of the eight debutants at the tournament.
The team needed a favorable result after their 5-0 loss to Japan in their first game. However, another 5-0 loss to Spain has ended the team’s dream debut.
After two rounds of matches, Zambia is without a point. A look at the group C standings shows Spain and Japan with six points each with one game left.
The team will hope to end on a high and secure their first World Cup win when they face Costa Rica in their last group game.
