The U.S. Women’s National Team (USWNT) may have bested Marta’s Brazil National Team in the 2024 Paris Olympics, but just a few months later, soccer legend Marta Vieira da Silva achieved a career milestone that will echo through the ages. On November 23rd, Marta, a six-time Olympian and one of the most celebrated players in the history of the game, clinched her first-ever National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) Championship with the Orlando Pride. The team secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over the Washington Spirit, a crowning moment in Marta’s illustrious career.
Adding to the Pride’s success, forward Barbara Banda earned the Championship Game MVP award for her decisive performance. Marta’s leadership and skill were instrumental in guiding Orlando to their first league title, solidifying their place in NWSL history.
