Orlando Pride Set to Sign Copper Queens Striker Barbra Banda
In a significant development for Zambian football, Orlando Pride, a National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) side, is poised to secure the signing of Barbra Banda, the captain of the Zambia Women’s national team. The deal, as understood by the Bola Yapa Zed Crew, is anticipated to be record-breaking, encompassing a substantial transfer fee, salary package, and potential bonuses.
At just 24 years old, Banda is a superstar in her own right, and her move from China to Orlando Pride marks a significant milestone in her career. Joining the NWSL will not only provide Banda with a new challenge but also offer her the opportunity to showcase her talents on a global stage. Notably, she will be joining compatriot Racheal Kundananji in the USA, further solidifying Zambia’s presence in international women’s football.
Kundananji’s move to Bay FC in a world transfer deal was a groundbreaking moment, and Banda’s imminent transfer to Orlando Pride adds to the growing prominence of Zambian players in top leagues around the world.

Banda’s remarkable achievements on the field speak volumes about her skill and dedication. Recently, she reached a significant milestone by scoring her 50th international goal during Zambia’s thrilling 3-3 draw against Ghana in the second leg of the Paris 2024 Olympics qualifier at Ndola’s Levy Mwanawasa Stadium. Her impressive performances extend beyond the international stage, as evidenced by her outstanding display at the Tokyo Olympics, where she scored two hat-tricks. Additionally, Banda represented Zambia at the Women’s World Cup in New Zealand and Australia, further solidifying her status as one of the most formidable talents in women’s football.
As Barbra Banda prepares to embark on this new chapter of her career with Orlando Pride, her move underscores the growing recognition of Zambian football talent globally. With her skills and determination, Banda is poised to make a significant impact in the NWSL, inspiring future generations of footballers in Zambia and beyond.
