Ashleigh Plumptre has made it clear that the Super Falcons are ready for a tough fight against Zambia’s Copper Queens in the upcoming Women’s Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final clash set for Friday in Casablanca.

Zambia head into the match as one of the tournament’s top-scoring teams, having netted six goals so far. Their forwards, Barbara Banda and Racheal Kundananji, have been standout performers, using their speed and strength to trouble defenses throughout the competition.

Despite the challenge ahead, Plumptre isn’t fazed. Speaking at a press conference, the Nigerian defender acknowledged the strength of Zambia’s attack but stressed that the Super Falcons are prepared to face the team as a whole, not just two players.

“We respect Zambia’s attacking quality, and we know they’ve got dangerous players,” she said. “But our game plan isn’t about shutting down individuals—it’s about being ready for everything they bring as a team.” Plumptre, who plays her club football with Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, emphasized that the Falcons have studied their opponents well and are focused on reaching the semifinals.
