Early life

Banda was born in March 2000 in Lusaka, the Zambian capital. She began playing football at the age of seven.[3]

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.[4]

In her debut season, she scored 18 goals in 13 league matches to emerge as the 2020 Chinese Women's Super League top scorer.[5][6]

International career

Junior

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

Senior

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.[7] 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.[8]

On July 6, 2022, Banda was ruled ineligible to compete for Zambia in the Women's Africa Cup of Nations tournament after a gender verification test found that her natural testosterone levels were above those allowed by the Confederation of African Football, which has stricter gender verification rules than the Olympics.[9][10] The ruling sparked significant controversy, with Human Rights Watch describing it as a "clear violation" of her human rights.[11]
