The team's official kit colours include green shorts, a green jersey and green socks. In 2003, the kit for the national team was provided as a result of a sponsorship deal with Umbro who first agreed to sponsor the Zambia national football team. Zambia women's national football team has had their kit sponsored. Funding also is a problem for the women's game in Africa, with most of the funding for women's football in the Africa coming from FIFA, not the local national football association. When quality football players are produced in Africa, often they leave the country to seek greater opportunities elsewhere, to the detriment of the local game. Women's football in Africa as a whole faces problems that include limited access to education, poverty amongst women in the wider society, and fundamental inequality present in the society that occasionally allows for female specific human rights abuses. There is a national women's league established in the country along with regional and school competitions. In 2009, there were 100 women's teams for players over 16, and 112 youth women's teams for players under 16. Women's football continues to be supported by the national federation who have budgeted money for the women's game and youth game. Since that time, Zambia has created a women's senior national team and an under-20 team. Women's football was formally organised by the Football Association of Zambia in 1983. In 1985, almost no country in Africa had a women's national football team.
Zambia women's national football team is called the Copper Queens. The country is the first landlocked nation in Africa to qualify for a senior World Cup of either men's or women's, having its maiden debut in the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. The country has participated in several qualifying tournaments for the FIFA Women's World Cup and other African-based football tournaments. There is also a Zambia women's national under-17 football team, a Zambia women's national under-20 football team, and Olympic qualifying team and a Homeless World Cup team. The Zambia women's national football team, nicknamed the Copper Queens, represents Zambia in women's association football.
