Orlando Pride has bolstered their midfield with the signing of Zambian international Grace Chanda from Madrid CFF. The move was announced on the club's website, with Chanda penning a two-year deal with an option for a further year. "I am extremely excited to join Orlando," Chanda said. "It is a great club, where I will be able to play alongside amazing players, like Marta and Barbra." The move to the NWSL is a significant one for Chanda. "This is a very important step in my life because I have always wanted to play in the NWSL, one of the best leagues in the world," she explained. "I hope I can adapt quickly so that I can help my teammates and the club achieve greater things together. I'm looking forward to this amazing journey of my life." Chanda becomes the second player at Orlando Pride and the third Zambian to compete in the NWSL. She joins her compatriot and Copper Queens captain, Barbra Banda, who is currently the league's joint-top scorer with eight goals. Forward Racheal Kundananji holds the honor of being the first Zambian in the NWSL, having joined Bay FC in February for a record-breaking transfer fee.
