women football

The world of women's football continues to reach new heights, as transfer records are constantly being shattered. This week, Zambian star Racheal Kundananji made history by becoming the most expensive women's player ever.

At the age of 23, Kundananji left Spanish side Madrid CFF to join the newly formed National Women's Soccer League club, Bay FC. Set to make their debut in the North American top tier in the 2024 season, Bay FC secured Kundananji's services in a groundbreaking transfer worth an initial €735,000 ($786,000), with an additional €75,000 ($80,000) in potential add-ons. This significant figure comfortably surpasses the previous world record set just last month when Mayra Ramírez moved from Levante to Chelsea for €450,000 ($500,000).
