Bay FC have made Racheal Kundananji the most expensive player in the history of women\u2019s football.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking to\u00a0The Equalizer, she said: \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to having a great time in the US, a great time with the team. Bay FC is my new family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s always difficult in every stage. It\u2019s not going to be easy for me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not expecting that because I\u2019m on the team, I\u2019m playing 90 minutes. I\u2019m expecting challenges and I\u2019m expecting to overcome those challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Kundananji added: \u201cI\u2019m super excited to join Bay FC. The is the opportunity I\u2019ve been looking for.\u00a0<\/p>\n
