Brazilian soccer superstar Marta has announced her intention to continue playing professional soccer for at least two more years, despite not being sure if she will remain with the Orlando Pride. Currently having an undefeated season with the Pride, Marta’s contract runs until 2024. The team is currently leading the NWSL, with a seven-point advantage over the second-place Washington Spirit. Marta has been instrumental in this success, scoring seven goals and providing two assists in 19 games this season.
After her retirement from international soccer following the Olympics, Marta has been thriving with the Pride. Coach Seb Hines has moved her higher up the field to play alongside Barbra Banda, a change that has injected renewed energy into her game. Marta’s goal is to continue performing at a high level and contributing to the team’s success. The Pride have not had a very successful run in recent years, but Marta’s presence and performance have helped them clinch a playoff position this season.
Despite the challenges and changes within the team, Marta believes that she still has a lot to offer and is determined to break records and achieve more success. Her decision to join the Orlando Pride in 2017 has proven to be a good one, as she feels comfortable and supported within the community. Marta’s determination, passion, and skill continue to be assets to her team, and she is committed to giving her best on the field for the next couple of years.
