Malawian football star Temwa Chawinga has made a stunning start to her season in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) in the United States, earning her a nomination for Player of the Week.
Chawinga, who plays for Kansas City, has scored two goals in her first two games, setting her sights on defending her top goal scorer award.
Her impressive performance has helped Kansas City secure second place on the log table, just four goals behind leaders Orlando Pride.

The nomination is a testament to Chawinga’s skill and dedication to the sport.
She faces stiff competition from other talented players, including Gia Corley of San Diego Wave FC, Kylie Nadaner of Orlando Pride, and Angelina Anderson of Angel City FC.
Chawinga’s success in the NWSL is not only a proud moment for Malawi but also an inspiration to young girls and women back home.
Her achievements demonstrate that with hard work and determination, Malawian athletes can compete at the highest level and make a name for themselves on the global stage.
