Zambia’s football association on Friday expressed “surprise” at claims its women’s coach abused a squad member at the current World Cup, after FIFA launched an investigation into what it called an “allegation of misconduct.
According to a report Zambian coach, Bruce Mwape is accused of rubbing a player’s breasts after a training session.
“We can confirm that a complaint has been received in relation to the Zambian women’s national team and this is currently being investigated,” a FIFA spokesperson said, without specifying the nature of the complaint.
Recall that Zambia was eliminated at the group stage of the tournament in Australia and New Zealand and are now back home.
