Zambia Under-20 Sensation Joseph Sabobo Banda Poised to Sign Professional Contract with Zurich

Zambia’s rising star, Joseph Sabobo Banda, a standout performer for the Under-20 national team, is set to formalize his professional contract with Swiss club Zurich. The talented attacker, who recently celebrated his 18th birthday on December 17, is prepared to return to Switzerland to conclude the significant deal.

Banda caught the attention of Zurich during trials with the club’s youth team in Switzerland, showcasing his skills and potential. Despite his impressive performance, the initial signing was hindered by age restrictions. Consequently, Zurich opted to loan Banda back to Zambia, initially with National League side Atletico Lusaka. Subsequently, he joined Super League side Nkwazi Football Club on loan for the ongoing campaign.

During his time at Nkwazi, Banda has been a key contributor to the team’s success, operating from the left wing. He marked his season with a notable goal in a 2-1 victory over Muza, a match that garnered attention for its contentious moments.

The imminent move to Zurich signifies a significant milestone for Banda, who is poised to join the ranks of Zambian talents making waves in European football. Notably, 19-year-old Miguel Chaiwa is already making strides with Young Boys in Switzerland.

With a promising track record in the junior national team, Banda’s journey to Europe is anticipated to be a transformative experience for both his club career and contributions to the Zambian national team. As he prepares to sign his professional contract with Zurich, the football community eagerly awaits the next chapter in Joseph Sabobo Banda’s burgeoning career.
