Orlando Pride announced today the signing of Brazilian forward Marta. But Marta is more than another new signing for the Pride. She’s more than another way to bulk up the offense or another leader to help lift up this team, although she is also those things. Marta is a legend. And bringing her on board proves the organization’s commitment to using their platform to grow the game and prove that they can be the best in the world.
The list of Marta’s accolades over her 17-year career appears endless. She’s won countless titles with her clubs, including winning the Damallsvenskan title with three different teams seven times.
