The Orlando Pride will see more of Brazilian star Marta after the forward signed a new contract with the team, extending her contract through the 2022 season.
Marta has also obtained a green card ahead of the 2021 season, which means the Brazilian star will no longer use one of the Pride’s international slots.
”In addition to Marta’s world-class talent on the field, she embodies the values of Orlando Pride beyond the field as well,” executive vice president Amanda Duffy said. “The decision to restructure and extend our existing contract with Marta represents her importance to our organization and our commitment to maintain top global talent here in Orlando as well as in NWSL, as much as it demonstrates our commitment to bring and retain players that have a meaningful impact within our business and community at large.
