Going into the knockout stage, we will rely on that same composure and — Lushomo Mweemba

"Yes, I do. I am in Turkey yes but playing in a competitive league would challenge me more and help me grow as a player. It’s a dream I am working towards and I believe with consistency, that opportunity will come"

"Personally, I want to keep improving with each match. As a team, our goal is to reach the final and give ourselves a chance to win it. Beyond WAFCON, we want to keep qualifying for big tournaments and showing the world what Zambia can do"

"I take that responsibility seriously. I try to lead by example through discipline, humility and hard work. My message is to believe in yourself, stay focused and never let anyone tell you your dreams are too big"

"Wearing the jersey means everything. It’s an honour and a duty. Every time I step on the pitch, I remember where I come from and who I am playing for. Mentally, I stay ready by focusing on the team’s goals and trusting my training"

"Playing club football in Zambia has helped me understand the physical side of the game early on. It taught me to be tough and alert. Every game is different and I have learned to adapt quickly"

"It’s been a very good journey. We stayed unbeaten in a very tough group, which says a lot about our progress. The biggest positive has been our unity. We play for each other and for the flag. Every player gave their all"
