Copper Queens skipper Barbra Banda is determined to stay positive despite Zambia's elimination from the FIFA Women's World Cup. The team lost 5-0 to Spain in their second group match on Wednesday, confirming their exit from the tournament.
"It was a bad day for us because we were hoping to win, but we didn't carry the day, and we have been eliminated," Banda said. "We just have to forge ahead to the last game that we are going to have against Costa Rica."
Banda, who is an important part of the Copper Queens team, said that Zambia lacked experience against Spain in their first World Cup appearance. However, she is hopeful that the team will do better in the next tournament.
"Looking at our team, most players this is when they are gaining experience," she said. "We are hoping if we qualify for the next World Cup we will do better. We just have to be determined and work hard."
Zambia will face Costa Rica in their final group match on Monday. Both teams have been eliminated from the tournament, but they will be looking to end their campaigns on a positive note.
"We are still positive," Banda said. "We want to go.
