Barbra Banda Praises Orlando Pride as One of the Most Amazing Teams

The Orlando Pride are dominating the league with a remarkable five-game winning streak, securing the top spot in the standings. Their recent victory over Louisville, with a score of 1-0, showcased the talent of their newest star player, Barbra Banda.

Banda, the second most expensive player in the history of women’s football, made a significant impact with her lone goal in the match. Since joining the Pride, she has quickly become a key player, bringing her experience from playing in Europe and Asia to the team.

FOX 35’s Amanda McKenzie recently sat down with Banda for an exclusive interview, her first since joining the team. Banda, who arrived in Orlando just a month ago from Shanghai, expressed her excitement about the challenge of playing in a new league known for its high level of competition.

Born and raised in Zambia, the 24-year-old forward has already achieved international stardom, representing her country in the Olympics and World Cup. Now, she is proud to wear the purple jersey of the Orlando Pride and is grateful for the warm welcome she has received from her teammates and the staff.

Banda’s signing is not only a testament to her talent but also marks one of the largest investments in a player in the history of the National Women’s Soccer League. Her performances in the Olympics, World Cup, and Chinese Women’s Super League have earned her a reputation as a world-class talent.

Despite her busy schedule, which includes preparing for the upcoming Olympics where she will represent Zambia once again, Banda is eager to explore her new home in Orlando. For now, her focus remains on the upcoming matches, starting with a game against the Bay Football Club at Inter&Co Stadium on Sunday, May 11 at 01:30 a.m.
