Hazel Natasha Nali (born 4 April 1998) is a Zambian professional women's footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for ZESCO Ndola Girls in the FAZ Super Division and the Zambia women's national team. She played for the senior national team at the 2014 African Women's Championship at the 2018 Africa Women Cup of Nations, at the 2020 COSAFA Women's Championship, and at the 2020 Summer Olympics.
At club level, Nali has played in Zambia for Chibolya Queens in Lusaka, for Nchanga Queens in Chingola,[1] for Indeni Roses in Ndola,[2] and for Green Buffaloes in Lusaka. In March 2020, she won the FAZ Women Super division with Green Buffaloes.[3]
In November 2020, Nali joined Israeli club Hapoel Be'er Sheva who compete in the Ligat Nashim on a one-year deal. She started every one of the first games of the season and, in their sixth game, kept her first clean sheet to help the club claim their first victory of the season, beating Hapoel Ra'anana 2–0.[4][5]
In March 2022, she moved to Turkey and joined the Istanbul-based club Fatih Vatan Spor to play in the second half of the 2021-22 Women's Super League season.[6] She suffered an ACL tear and medial collateral ligament injury just days before the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup and missed out on the next two seasons. In the summer of 2024, she signed for Greek club OFI, but her move fell through after uncertainty caused by her injury.[7]
In July 2025, after being fully rehabilitated, she returned to Zambia to play for ZESCO Ndola Girls.[7]
