The spotlight is on Zambia’s football sensation as Copper Queens Captain Barbra Banda attends the prestigious CAF Awards 2023 in Morocco tonight. Banda, a formidable force on the field, is nominated for the 2023 CAF Women’s African Player of the Year Award.
Competing against tough contenders, Banda finds herself in the esteemed company of Thembi Kgatlana from South Africa and Nigeria’s Asisat Oshoala. The outcome of the awards ceremony will unveil the recipient of this prestigious title, celebrating the outstanding achievements of female footballers on the African continent.
Barbra Banda’s nomination is a testament to her remarkable contributions both at the national and club levels. With an impressive record of 32 goals for both the country and her club, Banda has consistently showcased exceptional skill, dedication, and sportsmanship throughout her career.
As the Copper Queens Captain, Banda has been a pivotal figure, leading the national team to significant victories and representing Zambia with pride on the international stage. Her impact extends beyond the field, inspiring aspiring footballers and earning her a well-deserved place among the top contenders for the CAF Women’s African Player of the Year Award.
Zambia eagerly awaits the announcement of the award results, with supporters and football enthusiasts across the nation rallying behind Barbra Banda. Regardless of the outcome, her nomination alone is a momentous recognition of her talent and commitment to the sport.
The CAF Awards ceremony serves as a platform to honor and celebrate the achievements of African football players, coaches, and teams.
Wishing her all the best
She deserves to win it all.
The girl a good at game and discipline, despite that influence she got from poisonous Augustus Mukoka during world cup.
NO COMPROMISE BABRA DERSEVES
UNFORTUNATELY NOT WHEN NIGERIANS ARE ALSO IN CONTEST
NIGERIANS VOTE MASSIVELY FOR THEIR COMPATRIOTS
How many trophies did she win within the particular period? Asisat Osoala won League and UEFA champions league. She fired Nigeria to round 16 where they lost to the eventual finalist.
Who chose her at the 1st instance?
From a pure football perspective Barbara Banda is without a doubt more talented and her skill level is above the competition. It was too bad CAF engaged in gamesmanship which affected her Africa cup participation and her then projected and anticipated Real Madrid move was affected. Let’s see you at the next Women Afcon and let’s see who is really the best…not because you play for a team with Aitana Bonmatti, Peruello, Alexis… clearly Barcelona can win without Asisat Osiohala truth be told.
