Grace Chanda Signs with Orlando Pride

Zambia Women’s National Team midfielder Grace Chanda has transferred to the Orlando Pride, a prominent club in the United States National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL).

This move comes after Chanda spent two successful seasons with Madrid CFF in Spain, where she showcased her talent and significantly contributed to her team’s performance.

Her transfer marks a significant step in her career as she transitions to one of the most competitive women’s soccer leagues in the world.

Chanda’s arrival at Orlando Pride is noteworthy as she becomes the second Zambian player to join the club. Her inclusion not only strengthens the team’s midfield options but also brings a wealth of international experience and skill.

Chanda’s dynamic playing style and ability to read the game will be invaluable assets for Orlando Pride as they aim to improve their standings in the league. Her presence is expected to inspire both her teammates and fans alike.

Moreover, Chanda’s move to the NWSL makes her the third Zambian player to compete in the league, highlighting the growing influence of Zambian talent in international women’s soccer.

The first Zambian player in the NWSL was forward Racheal Kundananji, who joined Bay FC in February in a record-breaking move.

Kundananji’s success paved the way for other Zambian players, and Chanda’s signing is a testament to the increasing recognition of Zambian athletes on the global stage.

This trend signifies the rising prominence of Zambian women’s soccer and its potential to make a lasting impact in international competitions.
