Barbra Banda Strikes Again! ⚽️✨

The Copper Queens skipper was simply unstoppable on the pitch today, delivering a masterclass performance that left the North Carolina Courage defense in awe. With two well-taken goals and a delightful assist, Barbra Banda once again showcased her unparalleled talent and unwavering leadership, propelling the Orlando Pride to a convincing 4-1 victory.

Banda's first goal was a thing of beauty, as she deftly weaved through the Courage's backline before slotting the ball past the keeper with precision. Her second strike was equally impressive, a powerful finish that left the North Carolina players with no chance.

But Banda's impact went beyond just scoring, as she orchestrated the Pride's attacking play with the poise and vision of a true captain. Her defense-splitting pass set up her teammate for the third goal, cementing the Pride's dominance and leaving the opposition in their wake.

It was a performance that exemplified Barbra Banda's unparalleled talent and leadership. The Copper Queens skipper once again proved that she is a force to be reckoned with, delivering a stellar display that thrilled the crowd and showcased her status as one of the NWSL's brightest stars.

Chiamaka in my opinion is Nigeria's best chance of winning the CAF player of the year for 2024. We need to start the campaign early for it to gain steam. The campaign is needed cause goalkeepers rarely win the award, but she's done enough in my opinion to earn it, just a little campaign for it to register in the voter's mind.

Rasheedat Ajibade a very intelligent Player but her goals and Assists per season doesn’t do her any good, She does more Play Making for the Others to Score than Scoring’s herself which’s one thing that would affect her..!!

Maybe Leave Atletico Madrid to Real Madrid or another Bigger Club side, Infact Champions League Football Count Real Big now as the Media eyes are all on it..

Currently she sits among the top 3 in CAF Women’s Player of the Year but she will need some more Social Media Push and Campaign so they can buy into her way as she’s a Goalkeeper whose chances is slim unlike forwards… Again if the Falcons can perform well at the Olympics her chances of winning will be higher..! Since Asisat Oshoala is on the Decline!

We need another Rising Star Real Quick, Is there any of the U20 that can come in like Superzee of 2014? Big NO for now except a Miracle!

Uchenna Kanu would have stood a chance too but she switches off and on and misses a lot of chances..

Chiamaka Nnadozie Nominated Again in France For the UNFP Award


Nominees for this year's UNFP Trophy:
•• Best goalkeeper
•• Best Player
•• Best Youngster

#TropheesUNFP

FIFA could suspend Zambia from international competition due to "undue influence by third parties", amidst a money-laundering scandal by FAZ president Andrew Kamanga, per The Guardian.

Rasheedat Ajibade is known for her creativity, graft and eye for goal. She works hard for her team, but is also blessed with lots of pace. Able to play with either foot, Ajibade could play anywhere across the front three and can contribute when in a midfield position as well.


Rash brings pure athleticism, speed and agility to the SuperFalcons and Atletico Madrid attack, and also has the ability to dribble past defenders. She’s always hard to contain, Causing a proper nuisance to defenders when out on the pitch. And on her best day, she is near unstoppable.

Going to the Olympics I believe if Randy is to pick 6 Forwards… 4 spot look certain with 2 open to battle for between the rest!

These are the top4 Picks
1• Asisat Oshoala
2• Rasheedat Ajibade
3• Uchenna Kanu
4• Esther Okoronkwo

The remaining 2 Spot to be battled for between these 4 Forwards.. If I were Randy I will go with the 1st two below though considering their form and what they could bring to the attack..

1• Rinsola Babajide
2• Chinwendu Ihezuo
3• Ifeoma Onumonu
4• Monday Gift


But again I see a more like Chinwendu Ihezuo Vs Ifeoma Onumonu kind of battle for a spot..

Chinwendu Ihezuo Scores Again…! Currently 3rd on the TopScorer Chat in Liga MX Women with 13goals in 16games

Marjolen Nekesa: "My agent is refusing to pay me my money” 29 April 2024


Marjolen Nekesa plays for the Kenyan women’s national team and Czech champions Slavia Prague. The current top goal scorer of the Liga Zen has been waiting 18 months for her agent, Dzmitry Marholenka, to pay her the money she is owed.

After I graduated from Oklahoma Wesleyan University in 2021, I wanted to become a professional footballer. It was important to get an agent because I didn’t have many connections in Europe. I got in touch with Dzmitry Marholenka through a regular visitor of our games. He told me that he had good connections in Europe and could help me get a club. He sounded honest and when I checked his Instagram, I saw he had a lot of posts with players.
The agent told me that FC Minsk were interested in me. I knew nothing about the club, had never heard of Belarus, and didn’t know much about the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
I watched a couple of videos of the team and it seemed like a good club to start my professional career at. The league also didn’t look too competitive. I arrived in March 2022 and they received me well.

Unfortunately, not everything was okay. The club had promised to arrange accommodation, but after I arrived, they told me they were struggling due to the economy and the war.
They told me I had to pay for my rent and share a room with a team-mate, who was from Nigeria. This wasn’t a problem for me. But when the end of the month came, I only received a small part of my salary. The club said they didn’t have more money. I was supposed to get 5,500 Belarusian Ruble, but I only received 1,300. And then I also had to pay 650 for rent.
The club’s director told me their money issues would be solved the next month and he would pay me eventually. I believed him. However, the next month it happened again: I only received 1,400. Then I got worried.
My team-mate and I had little money left. We were struggling, we could not really live off our salaries, but we managed to make it work. After training, the club provided lunch, so we only needed to buy dinner from our own money. But we couldn’t afford to buy anything extra.
In May, we received the remainder of our salary for March, but they continued paying too little. After spending three months with FC Minsk, I filed a complaint with the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber. And during the summer of 2022, I moved to my current team, Slavia Prague, in Czechia.

When I left Belarus, I gave my ATM card to my agent because outside the country I would not have access to my Belarussian bank account due to international sanctions put upon the country after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. My agent promised that he would send me my money if the club paid.
At the end of October, a couple of months after moving to Slavia, FC Minsk paid the money they owed me. My agent informed me by sending a picture of my account adding: “your money is here”.
I had agreed with him that he was allowed to deduct his commission, which he did and we also agreed that he would swiftly transfer the rest of my money to me. He allegedly tried different solutions, but he would eventually tell me that they didn’t work out well because “other people” didn’t cooperate.
I had a lot of patience with him. He kept promising that he would give me the money and I kept giving him the benefit of the doubt. Once he sent me 1,000 USD. He told me that he would send more, but he never did. He just kept giving excuses.
Five months ago, I stopped contacting him because it gave me so much stress. I felt frustrated and used. I played in Belarus for four months and received about one monthly salary, which means that I had been working to fill someone else's pockets.

I am still waiting for the remaining 4,200 USD. My contract with him expired 1 March. This situation is giving me a hard time trusting other agents who want to work with me. When I signed with this agent, I expected to talk with him about my career and future plans, but we only talked about the money that he owes me.
Fortunately, I am very happy at Slavia. I love it here. The city is beautiful and it is easy to meet people. I've scored 23 goals this season and we are trying to win the double again. My highlight was scoring twice in nine minutes in the qualifying round of the Champions League against CFR Cluj.
I still have a contract with Slavia until June 2025. I am talking with an agent, but I haven't signed with him yet. My advice to other players is to be cautious, and to not blindly trust other people.

FIFPRO…
