Copper Queens skipper Barbra Banda played her last match for Chinese Women’s Super League side Shanghai Shengli.
Banda scored two goals and set up another as Shanghai Shengli saw off Shaanxi Changan 4-2 in what was her farewell match.
The Zambian international was also named as the player of the match thanks to her exploits.
Banda recently joined USA National Women’s Soccer League side Orlando Pride on a four year deal from Shanghai Shengli.
Banda joined the Pride following a $740,000 transfer fee making the second most expensive female football player in history behind teammate Rachel Kundananji.
In total, the Pride’s signing of Banda will mark one of the largest all-in investments on a player in National Women’s Soccer League history.
Banda will now focus on National duty and her pursuit of the P-1 Visa before she can head to the United States.
Zambia will host Morocco on 5th April at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium at 19h00 before facing the Atlas Lionesses away in Rabat on 9th April.
Banda is expected to be one of the highest paid players in the National Women’s Soccer League.
Banda’s deal includes a number of incentives and bonuses which makes it one of the biggest investments in Women’s Football.
Well deserved Ms. Banda now it’s time to take 🇿🇲to the Olympics once more.
Africa and the world is waiting to watch you & Ms. Kundananji on the big stage.
The 🇺🇸 and 🇩🇪’s in particular are waiting for you ladies in France.
