Barbra Banda missed the 2022 Women's Africa Cup of Nations due to issues surrounding DSD test guidelines. She has now returned, scoring three goals in the current tournament, starting with her first goal just 58 seconds into the opening game against Morocco. As captain, Banda emphasizes the importance of teamwork and the emotional significance of representing Zambia. Despite facing painful accusations about her gender, she remains focused on her performance and is motivated by her teammates' support and the desire to earn more titles for the team.
"It really means a lot for me to be here and to be a part of the team. And being with the team. We have a good feeling."
"Putting on this [national team] shirt, putting on this [Zambia] badge, means everything to me. I need to show people why I am here."
