After agreeing to a new deal that will keep her at Kansas City Current till 2028, Malawian striker Temwa Chawinga is hoping to win the National Women’s Soccer League shield and championship this year after losing both to Orlando Pride last season.
Temwa was the 2024 NWSL Most Valuable Player and NWSL Golden Boot winner in the regular season and extended her contract with the American club for three years.
“This year, we hope to bring the trophy home for the fans, for Kansas City,” she said after extending her contract. “I know this is possible with God.”
“My team has been good to me and they treated me well last season. My teammates are kind, my coach is amazing, and my KC community has been incredible. All the support, it feels like home here; that’s why I decided to extend my contract with the KC Current,” she added.
Chawinga had the most impressive debut season in NWSL history in 2024. She became the first player in the league’s history to score 20 goals in a season, record a goal in eight consecutive regular season matches, and score a goal against all 13 NWSL teams.
The Malawian striker’s record-setting campaign culminated by becoming the first player in franchise history to win both the Golden Boot and League MVP awards.
She also helped Kansas City finish fourth in the regular and also qualified for the championship playoffs.
