Шаблон:As of, she is Africa's all-time top scorer in Olympic history. In 2020, she became the first woman footballer in Olympic history to score back-to-back hat tricks and the first to score two hat tricks in one tournament.

In September 2022, Banda led Zambia to win their first 2022 COSAFA Women's Cup, the top women's international football tournament for national teams from Southern Africa. Her ten goals earned her the Golden Ball Award.

Early life

Banda was born in Lusaka, the Zambian capital. She began playing football around the age of seven playing on the streets. Banda was inspired by her father who played football and would encourage her to practice. She played with boys as the academy she attended did not have a girls team. After her parents became concerned that her focus on the sport was interfering with schooling, she would sometimes sneak out and "throw them (boots) out the window, then go out the door, and they'd think maybe she's just going outside, and then I'd go round to get them."

Шаблон:External media After being inspired by Zambian professional boxer Catherine Phiri, Banda started boxing around age 14 first as an amateur and then after never losing a bout and other amateurs refusing to fight her, she turned professional. Banda competed in five professional bouts and won all five before opting to focus on football.

Club career

EDF Logroño, 2018–2019

Banda signed with Spanish first division club EDF Logroño in October 2018 becoming the first woman Zambian footballer to play in Europe. She scored 16 goals in 28 matches with the club.

Shanghai Shengli, 2020–

In January 2020, Banda signed with Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shengli. She scored in the 23rd minute of her debut for the club on August 23. Banda went on to score 18 goals in 13 league matches to emerge as the 2020 Chinese Women's Super League Golden Boot winner for most goals scored in the league.

International career

Junior

Banda represented the Zambia women's national under-17 football team in the 2014 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup. She turned 14 during the tournament.

Senior

Шаблон:External media On 6 March 2016, Banda made her senior team debut in a 2016 Women's Africa Cup of Nations qualification match against Namibia.

Banda captained the Zambian squad at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, the first time Zambia competed at the international tournament. During the team's first group stage match, 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. 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 woman footballer in Olympic history to score back-to-back hat tricks and the first to score two hat tricks in one tournament. She is Africa's all-time top scorer in Olympic history.

On July 6, 2022, Banda and three fellow teammates including striker Racheal Kundananji were ruled ineligible to compete for Zambia in the World Cup-qualifying tournament, Africa Cup of Nations, after a gender verification test found that their natural testosterone levels were above those allowed by the Confederation of African Football, which has stricter gender verification rules than the Olympics. The ruling sparked significant controversy, with Human Rights Watch describing it as a "clear violation" of her human rights. In August 2022, following Zambia's third-place finish at the tournament (and despite Banda not being able to compete), she and seven of her teammates were promoted by the Zambian Army with Banda given the highest rank of Sergeant amongst the group.

In September 2022, Banda led Zambia to win their first 2022 COSAFA Women's Cup, the top women's international football tournament for national teams from Southern Africa Her ten goals earned her the Golden Ball for the best player of the tournament.

In June 2023, Banda was named to the Zambian squad for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand after being ruled eligible to complete by FIFA in December 2022.

On July 7, 2023, she scored two goals, including the game-winner in the 12th minute of injury time, against #2 FIFA-ranked Germany leading #77 ranked Zambia to an astounding 3–2 upset. Banda was named Player of the Match.

On July 31, 2023, Banda won player of the match in Zambia's first ever win in a World Cup against Costa Rica.

Other work

In 2021, Banda launched the Barbra Banda Foundation which aims to support programs that promote empowerment for women and girls on issues of economic inequality, gender-based violence, lack of access to equal opportunities, teenage pregnancies, and early marriages using the power of sport. The foundation co-hosts an annual football tournament. On the foundation, Banda said, "Like many, I did not come from a place of abundance and hence I understand what it means to need help and no one willing to help you. I have also experienced how much easier life gets when you have people ready to help you on your path to success."

Banda joined Common Goal in 2019 pledging at least 1% of her salary to a collective fund that supports football charities around the world.

Personal life

Banda notes Portuguese men's footballer Cristiano Ronaldo as a player she admires.
