Eunice Chibanda (born 26 March 1993) is a Zimbabwean association football player. She is a member of the Zimbabwe women's national football team and represented the country in their Olympic debut at the 2016 Summer Olympics. She had her debut against Germany in a game the Germans won 6–1.
Chibanda was one of six players to be arrested on suspicion of assaulting the referee after a controversial Cup final in July 2014, which her Black Rhinos team lost to Inline Academy after a penalty shootout.[3] The players were acquitted when the Zimbabwe Football Association failed to bring charges within the required seven-day period.[4]
In May 2015 Chibanda was recalled to the national team after a two-year absence, for a 2015 CAF Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament fixture against Zambia.[5]
