Heartbreak for Zambia as they’re eliminated from WAFCON and will miss out on the 2027 Women’s World Cup. Despite scoring the most goals in their group overall and conceding the fewest, the Copper Queens were knocked out after considering head-to-head goals scored. Zambia had only registered two goals in the matches between the three tied sides, compared to four for Malawi and three for Nigeria - who had also finished the group stage with six points.
