Clara Luvanga, Washington Spirit and Al-Nassr
10 September 2026
Washington Spirit have signed Tanzanian striker Clara Luvanga from Al-Nassr on a contract through the 2029 NWSL season. The undisclosed transfer fee is believed to rank among the five most expensive deals in women’s football, according to the supplied report.
Some reports value the transfer at $2.3 million, although BBC Sport could not verify that figure. Luvanga becomes the first Tanzanian player in NWSL history after winning three Saudi league titles and last season’s golden boot with 24 goals.
