FIFA has launched an inquiry into an allegation of misbehavior involving the Zambia women’s national team’s participation in the 2023 Women’s World Cup.

According to The Guardian, Zambia’s head coach, Bruce Mwape, has been accused of rubbing his hands across the chest of one of his players.

The alleged incident occurred two days before their last group game against Costa Rica.

Zambia, making their tournament debut, defeated Costa Rica to claim their first ever triumph in the finals.

They were eliminated from the competition at the group stage, though, after losses to Japan and Spain.

“FIFA takes any allegation of misconduct very seriously, and there is a clear process in place for anyone in football who wants to report an incident.”

We can confirm that a complaint about the Zambian women’s national team has been received and is being investigated.

“We cannot provide further details regarding an ongoing investigation for obvious confidentiality reasons,” a FIFA official told ESPN.
