Morocco's national team coach, Jorge Vilda, has labeled the Zambian women's national team, the Copper Queens, as the Galacticós of African women's football. In a recent interview, Vilda expressed admiration for the formidable squad, highlighting the individual brilliance of star players Barbra Banda and Rachael Kundananji.

According to Vilda, the Copper Queens possess a terrifying lineup of super-talented players who can single-handedly alter the course of a game. He emphasized the challenge of containing both Banda and Kundananji, renowned for their strength, skill, and speed on the field.

Furthermore, Vilda noted the difficulty in predicting the Copper Queens' playing style and tactics, making them even more formidable opponents. Despite their formidable reputation, Vilda assured that his team would devise a game plan to minimize the impact of Zambia's star players and secure qualification to the Olympics.

Comparing the Copper Queens to the legendary Real Madrid Galácticos of 2002-04, Vilda highlighted the intimidating presence of multiple world-class players in one team, instilling fear in opponents and making them challenging to defend against.

As both teams prepare for their upcoming clash, the anticipation is high, with Morocco aiming to overcome the formidable challenge posed by the Copper Queens and secure their spot in the Olympics.
