Zambian footballer Barbra Banda has received a barrage of abuse on social media after winning the BBC ’s Women’s Footballer of the Year award. Banda, a prolific goalscorer for US team Orlando Pride, was surprised with the award during a team meeting. Her teammates cheered and applauded while Banda said she was “shocked and surprised” to receive the accolade. “To the young girl in Africa dreaming big,” she tweeted, “keep that dream and work hard, am telling you it does come true.” But she was on the receiving end of abuse with hundreds of comments accusing her of being “a man” and “cheating” other female athletes out of the prize.
