Banda , First Zambia Woman To Win CAF POTY

Barbra Banda Makes History as 2024 CAF Women’s Player of the Year

Zambia Women’s National team captain Barbra Banda has become the first Zambian to win the CAF Women's Player of the Year Award.

Banda beat fierce competition from Morocco’s star striker Sana Mssoudy and Nigeria goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie to clinch the 2024 award at a glittering ceremony at the Palais des Congres de Marrakech in Hivernage district.


The Orlando Pride striker joins South Africans Noko Matlou and Thembi Kgatlana as the only players from Southern Africa to have ever claimed the honor largely won by West Africans. Nigeria’s Asisat Oshoala has won it a record six times.
