FIFA is investigating an official complaint regarding Zambia’s head coach, Bruce Mwape, who is accused of sexually assaulting a player during a Women’s World Cup training session in New Zealand.
The alleged incident reportedly occurred on July 29th, two days before Zambia’s match against Costa Rica, which they won 3-1.
While the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) expressed surprise and denied receiving the complaint, FIFA takes any allegation seriously and has a clear reporting process.

The investigation
Zambia has returned home after finishing third in their group. The FAZ maintains high standards of integrity and transparency, pledging to act upon any official complaint or evidence of misconduct.
New Zealand police conducted initial inquiries but found no further action necessary.
Mwape previous allegations
Similar allegations against Mwape surfaced last year on social media, prompting an investigation by FAZ, which considered the allegations very serious.
Mwape denied wrongdoing and referred to the previous allegations as “fake”.
