Bruce Mwape banned from private contact with Zambia players at Olympics
Coach being investigated for sexual misconductThe 64-year-old denies the accusations
Bruce Mwape will not be allowed private contact with any of his players at the Olympic Games in Paris but the coach of Zambia’s women’s football team has eventually been granted a visa despite an ongoing investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct against him.
Fifa is still investigating claims that Mwape rubbed his hands over the chest of a player after a training session at last year’s World Cup in New Zealand. The Guardian also revealed in May that he was accused of intentionally touching a Fifa contractor on the breast at the same tournament. It has been revealed that before the World Cup that Mwape – who has previously denied the accusations – was the subject of an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct by a number of players in the squad that had been referred to world football’s governing body by the Zambian Football Association (FAZ).
