Zambia, Costa Rica Bow Out of Women’s World Cup in Australia, New Zealand

Zambia and Costa Rica have been eliminated from the ongoing Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, becoming the first countries to exit the tournament.

Zambia’s team, known as the Copper Queens, had been drawn in Group C alongside Spain, Japan, and Costa Rica, and they were one of the eight debutants in this edition of the championship.

Unfortunately, the Copper Queens’ dream debut at the Women’s World Cup did not go as planned. After suffering a 5-0 defeat in their first match against Japan, the team needed a favourable result to keep their hopes alive. However, their match against Spain also resulted in a 5-0 loss, sealing their early exit from the competition.
