FAZ APPOINTS HAUPTLE AS NEW COPPER QUEENS COACH

The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has appointed Swiss national Nora Hauptle as Copper Queens coach on a three year deal.
FAZ General Secretary Reuben Kamanga says Hauptle had been hired to consolidate on the gains made in the women’s game.

“We are excited to announce the appointment of Nora Hauptle as the new Zambia Women National Team coach. We have every reason to believe that she has the pedigree and profile that will take us to the next level,” says Kamanga.
“Her duty is to consolidate on the gains made in our women’s game in the last few years that has seen us win bronze at the WAFCON, qualify to a maiden FIFA World Cup in 2023 and back-to-back Olympic qualifications.”

The former Swiss defender is expected to be unveiled soon.

The new Copper Queens coach had a distinguished career as a defender in Europe and represented Switzerland at international level before retiring in 2009.

She took up coaching and notably drilled SC Sand in the German Frauen-Bundesliga, in 2020, where she was, at the time, the only female coach in the league. Hauptle left SC Sand in 2021 before being appointed Black Queens coach in 2022.
Kamanga says Hauptle’s predecessor Bruce Mwape will be re-assigned in a different capacity in the developmental teams.
“We also wish to thank Bruce Mwape for the work done since his appointment in 2018 which has seen the team qualify to the World Cup and two Olympics (Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024). He remains a core member of our wider technical development program as we secured a CAF Pro License course for him as part of our collaboration with the Royal Morocco Federation. He will become the second Zambian coach to undertake the CAF Pro License after Wedson Nyirenda,” he says.

The Copper Queens have already qualified for the 2024 WAFCON (to be played in July 2025) that takes place in Morocco.

CANCEL DEBT FOR POOR COUNTRIES - POPE FRANCIS

POPE Francis has asked the world’s wealthiest countries to cancel or reduce the debts of the world’s poorest countries.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19jYbmNVUH/?mibextid=oFDknk

In his Jubilee new year message, the Pope underscored the importance of economic justice and solidarity with those struggling with national debts.

"The Jubilee asks to translate this remission of debts on a social level so that no person, no family, no people is crushed by debts," said the Pontiff.

“I, therefore, encourage the rulers of countries with a Christian tradition to set a good example by cancelling or reducing as much as possible the debts of the poorest countries."

Pope Francis’s call comes amid a backdrop of growing concerns about financial burden and inequality faced by developing nations who are struggling to recover from economic impacts of the COVID 19 pandemic and climate related disasters.

The Catholic leader also spoke against abortion, urging Catholics across the globe to reject the spirit of practicing the vice.

The Pope further expressed hope for a future that would be free from war or violence.

"Let us pray for an end to the fighting on all fronts and a decisive move towards peace and reconciliation. I’m thinking of the tormented Ukraine, Gaza, Israel, Myanmar, Kivu and so many warring people," stated the Pope.
