Zambian football prodigy Joseph “Sabobo” Banda has unveiled exclusively to The Nerve Africa the driving force behind his recent transfer to Swiss club FC Zurich.
The 18-year-old sensation, who inked a five-year deal on Tuesday, revealed that his resilient spirit was fueled by the support of his mother, especially after facing trials and setbacks at FC Barcelona in 2022.
Having spent the entire season on loan at Nkwazi in the Super League, the Athletico Lusaka player is now ready to embrace his new chapter in Switzerland.
“I’ve always been advised by my mother to have faith in myself, and she assured me that my dreams would eventually come true. I’m overjoyed.”
Recognized as one of the most promising talents in Zambian football, Sabobo has set his sights on a long-term goal—joining the ranks of Real Madrid. Eager to embark on his journey to the Spanish capital, he stated:
“I hope my move to Europe marks the beginning of my journey to Madrid. I dream of one day playing for Real Madrid, and I am committed to working hard to make that dream a reality.”
Sabobo’s determination and aspirations underscore a remarkable story of resilience, familial support, and unwavering ambition as he charts his course in the European football landscape.
