The Copper Queens will be aiming for their fourth appearance at the Women’s Cup of Nations.

They finished third at the 2022 tournament and secured qualification for the FIFA 2023 Women’s World Cup.

The first leg will be played in Angola on November 29, while the second leg will be on December 5th at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola.

It will be the first time the Copper Queens will play a home match in a stadium with a seating capacity of over 40,000.

In July this year, they made history after filling up the 10,000-seat Woodlands Stadium during a friendly match with Tanzania.
