Banda, who will be leading the Copper Queens at the 2024 Olympic Games revealed her Ideal team in an interview with FIFA.com.
“Wow, that’s so difficult! (She thinks for a while) I would start with Marta. Then I’ll go with [Nigeria’s Asisat] Oshoala. With me, that’s three.

“Honestly, I love playing with Rafa [Rafaelle] from Brazil. I know Marta can play in midfield, so I would put Rafa at the back, then Marta in midfield, me up front, also Oshoala and… [Sophia] Smith. That’s it!.
The Copper Queens will be making their second Olympics appearance in Paris.
The 23-year-old made history in Zambia’s maiden appearance at the Games in Tokyo– she then became the first player to score hat-tricks in back-to-back Olympic matches.

Banda will be the next Caf women’s player of the year if Caf is honest judging by her performance with the Prides and Zambian women team.
That girl nah beast. She practically won the Olympic ticket for Zambia against Morocco. After losing at home 2- 1, they went away to snatch a 3 -2 win away, despite the Spanish World Cup winning coach being the coach of the Moroccan girls. She plays like a man, even better than some male players.
With the current form of Zambia, SA, Morocco, and even Ghana and Morocco, next AWCON is going to be the most fiercely contested.
Zambia will do well at the Olympics. I rate them ahead of SA.

Zambia women are like men. That Banda woman na wa o.
Banda plays like a man.
Therefore, Zambia women are like men.
Classic falacy of hasty generalization.
Arara Kumbie, why na? Plix behave yaself.
That Banda don’t have women features. Do you know she was banned from participating in the 2022 Wafcon for failure of gender test? Fifa and caf banned her cos of too much testosterone for a woman…
She strong kakaraka no mean say she be man.
Top women athletes usually look masculine because of their rigorous training. After retirement, they usually look “softer” and more feminine. I suspect that will also be the case with Banda.
However, if she’s really a dude, big scandal! Shame on the Zambian authorities if that is the case!
