Joseph Sabobo Banda Joins Swiss club FC Zurich
The Zambian football landscape witnessed a landmark moment as young striker Joseph Sabobo Banda, fresh off his 18th birthday, embarked on a journey to European shores. His destination? The prestigious Swiss club FC Zurich, where he is poised to sign his contract and chase his dreams on the grand stage.
Banda’s arrival on the radar of FC Zurich wasn’t an overnight sensation. For over a year, the Swiss giants have been captivated by the raw talent and electrifying pace of the Zambian youngster. His loan stint at Nkwazi FC in the Zambian Super League this season served as a proving ground, where he showcased his burgeoning talent and hunger for goals.
His performances, a potent blend of skill and athleticism, left no doubt in the minds of FC Zurich’s scouts. They saw in Banda a diamond in the rough, a potential future star waiting to be polished. Now, with legal formalities out of the way, the stage is set for Banda to officially become a part of the FC Zurich family in the first week of January 2024.
This move signifies a significant leap in Banda’s career. Leaving his homeland for the unfamiliar terrain of European football is a daunting challenge, but one he embraces with youthful exuberance and unwavering determination. FC Zurich, a club with a rich history and a reputation for nurturing young talent, offers the perfect platform for Banda to hone his skills and climb the ladder of professional football.
The expectations are high, both from Banda himself and the FC Zurich faithful. The club sees him as a potential long-term solution to their striking woes, while Banda aspires to write his name in the club’s history books and become a role model for aspiring young footballers back in Zambia.

Joseph Sabobo Banda’s move to FC Zurich is more than just a transfer; it’s a symbol of hope for Zambian football. It’s a testament to the talent bubbling under the surface in the African nation, and a reminder that dreams, with hard work and dedication, can transcend borders and continents.
So, as the Zambian flag flutters alongside the red and white of FC Zurich, we watch with bated breath, eager to witness the unfolding chapters of Joseph Sabobo Banda’s European adventure. Will he become the next great Zambian export to grace European football? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – his journey has just begun, and the world is watching.
