ZAMBIAN football witnessed a glorious night at the COSAFA Awards as two exceptional talents secured prestigious honors.
Racheal Kundananji, a name synonymous with goals, reigned supreme as the Women’s Player of the Year while the unwavering Diana Chikotesha received her due recognition, claiming the Best Female Referee award.
Kundananji, a 23-year-old force on the pitch, has taken the world by storm.
Before her accolades and being the most expensive female player today, her journey began with a splash in Kazakhstan, and her exceptional skills propelled her to Spain, where she carved a name for herself in Eibar and Madrid CFF.
Her prowess recently earned her a record-breaking transfer to Bay FC, solidifying her position as the most expensive female footballer.
Kundananji was up against, Captain Barbara Banda and Malawi’s Tabitha Chawinga.
This remarkable duo has etched their names in Zambian football history.
Kundananji’s goalscoring prowess continues to inspire, while Chikotesha’s officiating brilliance paves the way for future generations.
Together, they paint a vibrant picture of Zambian football’s promising future.
