Barbra Banda’s Boots Take Center Stage at FIFA Museum
Football history comes alive at the FIFA Museum in Zurich, with a new exhibit dedicated to the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup and featuring a prominent display of Copper Queens captain Barbra Banda’s boots.

The FIFA Museum exhibit not only immortalizes the 2023 World Cup’s triumphs but also serves as a valuable historical archive for future generations.
