Zambia's captain, Barbra Banda, scored a hat-trick against Australia at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games

Zambia faced Australia yesterday for their second encounter of the Olympic group stage after the USA.

Banda scored three goals, but it wasn’t enough to secure Zambia a victory. But despite the defeat (5-6), the in-form striker has achieved an historic feat. She scored the first hat-trick of this tournament and her third in just five Olympics matches.

She scored against China and the Netherlands in Tokyo 2020, becoming the first player to score three goals in back-to-back Olympic games.

Barbra Banda is writing her name into Olympic history. The 24-year-old striker now holds the record for most hattricks scored in the Women’s Football tournament at the Olympic Games.

LTA Agency congratulate Barbra Banda and wish her more goals.
