No details were provided, citing confidentiality. According to media reports, it is an incident where coach Bruce Mwape is said to have touched a player’s breast.
Zambian football federation FAZ was surprised by the allegations, as it had not received any complaints from players or the travel delegation.
The association requires “the highest standards of integrity and transparency” from the team and employees, it said in a statement.
The association announced disciplinary measures “as soon as we receive an official complaint or evidence is presented to us”. Zambia were eliminated in third place after winning three matches in Australia and New Zealand.
Police in New Zealand have not received any reports, “but have been notified of an alleged incident. And following the initial investigation, no further action needed to be taken,” a police spokesman said.
