Malawi’s football star Temwa Chawinga continues to make history on the global stage after helping her club, Kansas City Current, secure the prestigious National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) Shield in the United States.
The Scorchers’ prolific striker was on target once again, scoring the second goal in KC Current’s emphatic 2-0 victory over Seattle Reign FC on Saturday night. In a poetic twist of fate, Chawinga’s goal came on the very day she celebrated her birthday, making the occasion even more special for her and the club’s supporters.
Chawinga’s remarkable consistency has been a driving force behind KC Current’s dominant campaign.
Her latest strike took her tally to 13 goals in the 2025 NWSL season, cementing her place as one of the league’s most lethal forwards.
The NWSL Shield is awarded to the team that finishes the regular season with the highest points, a feat that KC Current achieved with style and determination.
This victory marks a historic milestone for the club as they continue their quest for more silverware in the playoffs.
Temwa’s performance has drawn widespread praise, with football analysts hailing her impact not only as a goal scorer but also as a leader on the pitch.
Her ability to step up in crucial matches has been pivotal in KC Current’s success this season.
Temwa, who has also been instrumental for Malawi’s women’s national team, The Scorchers, has become a global ambassador for Malawian football. Her journey from local leagues to international stardom continues to motivate many upcoming athletes.
This achievement adds another shining chapter to Chawinga’s illustrious career, proving that she remains one of Africa’s most talented and influential footballers.
