Barbra Banda (born 20 March 2000) is a Zambian footballer who plays as a forward for Chinese club Shanghai Shengli and the Zambia women's national team.[2]

Club career[]

After spending her two first seasons at Spanish first division club EDF Logroño, in January 2020, Banda was transferred to Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shengli.[3]

In her debut season, she scored 18 goals in 13 league matches to emerge as the 2020 Chinese Women's Super League top scorer.[4][5]

International career[]

Banda represented Zambia at the 2014 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup.

In Zambia's first group stage match at the 2020 Olympics, Banda scored a hat trick against the Netherlands. The match ended 3–10, the worst ever loss for the Zambia women's national football team and the highest-scoring women's football match in Olympics history.[6] In their second group match, Banda scored another hat trick against China with the match ending in a 4–4 draw. She became the first female player in Olympics history to score back-to-back hat tricks and the first to score two hat tricks in one tournament.[7]
