Orlando Pride general manager and vice president of soccer operations has filed a grievance with FIFA against the Football Association of Zambia on behalf of new signing Grace Chanda. The grievance is for the Zambian federation's failure to provide a reasonable standard of care for player health and safety after Chanda suffered a ruptured quadriceps tendon while playing for Zambia at the 2024 Olympics.
Chanda left Zambia's opening match of the Olympics after 38 minutes due to injury and did not play again in the tournament. Orlando signed Chanda in May, and she was due to begin playing with the Pride following the Olympics. However, she was placed on the season-ending injury list earlier this month.
