🇿🇲 THE COPPER QUEENS LEAVE MOROCCO WITH HEARTBREAK... BUT ALSO HOPE

The Copper Queens' journey at the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations came to an earlier end than many had hoped.

For a team that entered the tournament with genuine ambitions of challenging for the continental title, the disappointment of a group-stage exit will undoubtedly linger. Yet one tournament should never define a team that has helped transform women's football in Zambia.

This campaign was about more than results.

It was played in memory of former head coach Bruce Mwape, whose contribution to the growth of the Copper Queens helped lay the foundation for the success the nation enjoys today. Lifting the trophy would have been a fitting tribute to a man who dedicated so much to the game.

The tournament also marked the emergence of a new generation. Young players such as Mercy Chipasula and Eneless Phiri gained valuable experience on one of Africa's biggest football stages. Phiri's superb goal against Egypt offered a glimpse of the exciting future that lies ahead for Zambian women's football.

Alongside experienced leaders such as Barbra Banda, Racheal Kundananji, Grace Chanda and others, these young talents represent the next chapter of the Copper Queens' story.

Every great team experiences setbacks. What matters is how they respond.

With attention now gradually turning towards qualification for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, the lessons learned in Morocco could become the foundation for future success.

The Copper Queens have already inspired a generation. Their journey is far from over.

🇿🇲 Heads high, Copper Queens. Zambia still believes.

🇿🇲 "Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games Closing Ceremony... it was awesome. 😎"

Those were the words of Commonwealth Games bronze medallist Emmanuel Katema as he prepared to carry the Zambian flag during the Closing Ceremony in Glasgow.

Just days earlier, Katema had fought his way onto the Commonwealth podium, earning a bronze medal and bringing pride to the nation. Now, he was entrusted with another special honour—leading Team Zambia into the Closing Ceremony as the country's flag bearer.

It was a fitting recognition of an athlete whose performances throughout the Games reflected determination, discipline and resilience.

From standing on the podium to proudly carrying the Zambian flag before the world, Emmanuel Katema's Glasgow journey is one that will inspire many young athletes back home.

Congratulations once again, Emmanuel, on an unforgettable Commonwealth Games campaign.

🇿🇲 TEAM ZAMBIA SIGNS OFF GLASGOW 2026 WITH PRIDE

The curtain has fallen on Team Zambia's campaign at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, bringing to a close a memorable journey defined by courage, resilience and historic achievement.

The nation's final events saw Mildred Mkandawire conclude Zambia's lawn bowls campaign, while the 4x400m mixed relay team of Emeldah Kapunjila, Niddy Mingilishi, Kennedy Luchembe and Patrick Nyambe unfortunately did not finish after Luchembe sustained a muscle injury during his leg of the race.

While the final day did not produce another medal, it did not diminish what Team Zambia accomplished throughout the Games.

The campaign will be remembered for two historic bronze medals in boxing, with Catherine Mwape becoming the first Zambian woman ever to win a Commonwealth Games boxing medal, while Emmanuel Katema added a second bronze after an outstanding tournament. On Sunday, both athletes proudly stood on the podium to officially receive their medals—moments that will forever form part of Zambia's sporting history.

Adding another fitting chapter to the Games, Emmanuel Katema was selected to carry the Zambian flag during the Closing Ceremony, a recognition of his remarkable performances and an honour bestowed upon one of Team Zambia's outstanding ambassadors.

Beyond the medals, Glasgow showcased the determination of Zambia's athletes across athletics, boxing, swimming, judo and lawn bowls. Personal bests were achieved, history was made, valuable international experience was gained, and a new generation of athletes demonstrated that the future of Zambian sport remains bright.

Congratulations to every member of Team Zambia for proudly wearing the green, orange and black.

Thank you for inspiring a nation.

🇿🇲 MUZALA'S TITLE DEFENCE ENDS, BUT THE CHAMPION'S LEGACY CONTINUES

Zambia's Commonwealth Games 400 metres defending champion, Muzala Samukonga, finished sixth in Saturday's final after clocking 45.61 seconds in one of the strongest fields of the Games.

The race was won by Nigeria's Samuel Ogazi, who stormed to gold in a Commonwealth Games record of 44.25 seconds. Trinidad and Tobago's Jereem Richards claimed silver in 44.82, while South Africa's Zakithi Nene secured bronze in 45.21.

Although Samukonga was unable to retain the title he won in Birmingham four years ago, reaching another Commonwealth Games final once again demonstrated his place among the continent's elite quarter-milers.

The Zambian star fought bravely in a high-quality final and continues to represent the nation with distinction on one of the Commonwealth's biggest sporting stages.

At just 23 years old, Samukonga remains one of Zambia's greatest athletics ambassadors, and his journey is far from over. Champions are remembered not only for the medals they win, but for the standard they set. Once again, Muzala Samukonga has represented Zambia with distinction on one of the sport's biggest stages.

🇿🇲 Thank you, Muzala, for continuing to inspire a nation.

🥋 JUDO CAMPAIGN GETS UNDERWAY FOR TEAM ZAMBIA IN GLASGOW

Team Zambia's judo campaign began with courage, determination and moments of promise as the nation's judokas took to the mat on the opening day of competition at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games.

There was an encouraging start from Sylvia Nawila, who opened her campaign with a victory over Deann Walton of Barbados to advance to the next round. Although she was later defeated by Donne Breytenbach of South Africa, Nawila earned another opportunity to compete for a bronze medal before eventually bowing out to Frema Agyei of Ghana.

In the men's -66kg division, Simon Zulu also proudly represented Zambia but saw his Commonwealth Games campaign come to an end in the preliminary round after his contest against Christodoulides P of Cyprus.

While the opening day did not produce a medal, Team Zambia's judokas displayed the courage, resilience and fighting spirit that have characterised the country's performances throughout the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games.

Attention now turns to Saturday where Rita Kabinda (-63kg), John Kapungwe (-73kg) and Andrew K. Sande (-90kg) will be in action as Team Zambia continues its judo campaign in Glasgow.

🇿🇲 Every competition presents a new opportunity, and Team Zambia will be looking to build on today's experience as the campaign continues. We wish the trio every success as they carry Zambia's hopes into the next round of competition.

🇿🇲 KINGS KANGWA BEGINS A NEW CHAPTER IN GREECE 🇬🇷

One chapter closes. Another begins.

Zambian international Kings Kangwa has officially completed his move to Greek giants Panathinaikos, signing a four-year contract that will keep him at the club until 2030.

The move comes after an extraordinary spell with Israeli champions Hapoel Be'er Sheva, where Kangwa established himself as one of the league's finest players.

From arriving as a young midfielder chasing a dream, he leaves as:
🏆 Israeli Premier League Champion
🏆 Israeli Premier League Player of the Season
🏆 Hapoel Be'er Sheva Hall of Fame inductee

In an emotional farewell to the club's supporters, Kangwa reflected on a journey that exceeded every expectation.

"From arriving at Hapoel Be'er Sheva as a young player with nothing but a dream, to leaving as a member of the Hall of Fame... this journey has exceeded every expectation I ever had."

He thanked his teammates, coaches, club management and supporters for believing in him and making Israel feel like home, adding that Hapoel Be'er Sheva would always hold a special place in his heart.

Now, a fresh challenge awaits.

Panathinaikos is one of Greece's most successful clubs and will provide Kangwa with another opportunity to showcase his quality on the European stage as the club prepares for continental competition.

For Zambia, the move is another reminder that Chipolopolo players continue to make their mark across Europe, carrying the nation's flag with distinction.

Congratulations, Kings Kangwa.

Thank you for the memories in Israel, and all the best as you begin this exciting new chapter in Greece.

🥊 HISTORY FOR TEAM ZAMBIA AS MWAPE AND KATEMA WIN COMMONWEALTH BRONZE

Team Zambia has won its first medals at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games after boxers Catherine Mwape and Emmanuel Katema secured bronze medals in their respective weight categories.

Mwape etched her name into the history books by becoming the first Zambian female boxer to win a Commonwealth Games medal, claiming bronze in the Women's 54kg division. Her achievement also delivered Team Zambia's first medal of the Glasgow 2026 Games.

The Zambian boxer bowed out in the semi-finals after a spirited contest against India's Preeti Preeti, but not before producing a series of determined performances that earned her a place on the podium and secured a landmark moment for Zambian boxing.

Katema then added a second medal for Zambia after winning bronze in the Men's 65kg category. His campaign ended in the semi-finals against England's Patris Mughalzai following another courageous display.

Together, the two medals represent an encouraging milestone for Team Zambia and reward the commitment shown by the nation's boxing programme on one of the Commonwealth's biggest sporting stages.

Congratulations to Catherine Mwape and Emmanuel Katema for making Zambia proud.

🎙 ZAMBEZI OMNISPORT EDITORIAL

🇿🇲 MORE THAN MEDALS: WHAT TEAM ZAMBIA HAS SHOWN US IN GLASGOW!

Every medal tells a story. But not every unforgettable story ends with a medal. As Team Zambia continues its journey at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, we have witnessed moments of triumph, heartbreak, courage and quiet progress that deserve to be remembered long after the closing ceremony.

The story of Team Zambia has never been only about medals. It is a story of sacrifice. Of resilience. Of perseverance. Of ordinary Zambians doing extraordinary things while carrying the hopes of an entire nation. We have celebrated history.

Catherine Mwape etched her name into the record books by becoming the first Zambian female boxer guaranteed a Commonwealth Games medal. Shortly afterwards, Emmanuel Katema joined her with another assured performance that secured Zambia a second place on the podium.

We also witnessed Albert Ngulube announce himself on the Commonwealth stage with a courageous campaign that, although ending in the quarter-finals, demonstrated that Zambia's future in boxing remains bright.

On the athletics track, defending Commonwealth champion Muzala Samukonga once again reminded the sporting world why he remains among the finest 400-metre runners anywhere, advancing confidently as he continues his pursuit of another Commonwealth medal.

Yet Glasgow has also reminded us that success cannot always be measured by podium finishes. We watched Edna Ng'andula produce a personal best in the 200 metres before suffering the heartbreak of disqualification. We watched Patrick Nyambe, Kennedy Luchembe and Niddy Mingilishi test themselves against some of the Commonwealth's fastest athletes while continuing Zambia's steady progress in sprinting.

To many supporters, those performances may simply appear as results on a scoreboard. To athletes and coaches, they represent something far greater. They represent years of early mornings, disciplined training, relentless commitment and the constant pursuit of improvement. Nowhere has that progress been more evident than in Zambia's swimming team. Mia Phiri, Jade Phiri, Zack Moyo and Damien Shamambo quietly produced one of Zambia's most encouraging swimming campaigns in recent memory. Personal bests continued to fall. National benchmark performances were achieved. Zack Moyo celebrated victory in his heat.
Several swimmers continued to establish themselves among the fastest Zambia has ever produced in their respective events.
These are achievements that may not dominate newspaper headlines or trend across social media. But within the swimming community, they represent years of dedication and significant progress towards international standards. Sometimes the difference between success and disappointment is measured not in seconds, but in hundredths of a second. A personal best, a national record, an improved finish, a stronger performance are the building blocks upon which future champions are made.

Then there are the stories that statistics will never capture. Perhaps none touched the nation more than that of Emeldah Kapunjila. Just days before making her Commonwealth Games debut, Emeldah lost her father. In the midst of unimaginable grief, she chose to honour his final wish by representing Zambia on one of the biggest stages in international sport. Some victories are never measured by medals. Sometimes simply stepping onto the track is an act of extraordinary courage.

Behind every race... every punch thrown inside the boxing ring... every dive into the swimming pool... every jump, throw and finish line... are years of sacrifice, missed family gatherings, countless hours in the gym, thousands of kilometres travelled, injuries overcome, moments of doubt.

And an unwavering belief that one day, all the sacrifices would be worth it. These athletes are not simply competing for medals.
They carry the dreams of parents, the guidance of coaches, the pride of communities, and yes the hopes of an entire nation!

At Zambezi Omnisport, we have been privileged to share these stories because we believe every athlete deserves to be remembered—not only when they stand on the podium, but also for the determination, resilience and commitment that brought them to the Commonwealth Games. Our firm belief is "Bringing the Future of Zambian sports to the Now! "

Sport has a remarkable way of inspiring a nation. Not because everyone wins. But because every athlete reminds us what is possible through discipline, perseverance and belief. And somewhere, a child in Shangombo can dream because of what they have seen. A teenager in Mbala can begin to believe that representing Zambia on the world stage is not impossible—it is attainable.

To every member of Team Zambia competing in Glasgow, Thank you. Thank you for every training session nobody saw. Thank you for every sacrifice made in pursuit of excellence. Thank you for wearing the Zambian colours with pride.

Whatever the final medal table may say, you have already achieved something greater.

You have inspired a nation.

🇿🇲 Zambia Ku Chalo.

🏃 TEAM ZAMBIA'S RELAY HOPES REMAIN ALIVE AS MUZALA REACHES 400M FINAL 🇿🇲

Celebrated Zambian sprinter Muzala Samukonga remains on course to defend his Commonwealth Games title after qualifying for the Men's 400m Final at Glasgow 2026.

Samukonga finished second in his semi-final in 45.95 seconds, booking his place in the final as Zambia's sole representative in the event. This is the event he won the gold medal that brought him to world prominence in 2022.

Meanwhile, teammates Patrick Nyambe (46.50s), Kennedy Luchembe (46.60s) and Niddy Mingilishi (55.10s) produced determined performances in their respective 400m semi-finals.

Although they narrowly missed out on the finals, their Commonwealth Games campaign continues as they now shift their attention to the Mixed 4x400m Relay, where Team Zambia will be hoping for another strong showing.

All eyes now turn to Muzala's title defence as Zambia chases another athletics medal.

🇿🇲 Good luck, Team Zambia!
