Kansas City Current's Temwa Chawinga has doubled up as the NWSL's top scorer and MVP for the second year in a row – only two years after Tabitha, her elder sister and mentor, was the Golden Boot winner with Internazionale in Italy's Serie A Femminile. The duo from Malawi is often compared to tennis legends Venus and Serena Williams.
"It's your season," Tabitha told Temwa before she joined the Kansas City Current last year. "Grab everything on the NWSL table. Don't leave anything you are able to get." These words of wisdom from her sister, who had already achieved great success with her football career, have been instrumental in Temwa's rapid rise up the ranks.
Temwa has won numerous awards and accolades throughout her career, including 63 goals for Wuhan Jianghan and The Scorchers, making her the world's leading goalscorer in top-flight football. Her impressive form earned her a two-year contract with the Current, where she continues to terrorize defenses.
Having left a familiar environment in China, Temwa moved to the United States to join the Kansas City Current. She has credited her new teammates for welcoming her with open arms and treating her like they knew her before.
As she prepares to represent Malawi at next year's Women's Africa Cup of Nations (Wafcon), Temwa is confident that her team has a lot to offer. "It means a lot to me, to Malawi, that we are now there," she said. The Scorchers will be a force to be reckoned with at Wafcon, thanks in large part to the lethal firepower of Temwa Chawinga.
With two years of experience under her belt and a proven track record of success, Temwa is ready to take on new challenges. She has come a long way from her days playing for Chinese club Jiangsu LFC with little support from her family and sister.
The Current's captain, Lo'eau LaBonta, and other senior players played an important role in Temwa's development, pushing her to be the best player she could be. With their guidance, Temwa has established herself as one of the most feared strikers in women's football.

! It's not just about them scoring goals tho, its also about how far they've come from where they started. From playing for Chinese club Jiangsu LFC with no support to becoming a top scorer in NWSL and Africa - it's truly inspiring 
. And let's be real, who wouldn't want to play under the guidance of Lo'eau LaBonta? She's like the ultimate coach-player duo 
. I'm curious though, what do you guys think is Temwa's secret to success? Is it her natural talent or has she put in the hard work to get there? 
. It's amazing how far they've come from their China days, huh? I'm not surprised they're taking over the NWSL – those skills ain't gonna quit 
. Kansas City Current is looking like a team to beat for sure! And can we talk about how awesome it is that Temwa has found a new fam in the US 
? Those senior players must be super proud of her growth and all the awards she's won (63 goals, though... what?!). Bring on the Wafcon and let these Malawian sisters show the world what they're made of 
! two years in a row NWSL top scorer and MVP?! that's insane!!! 
her dedication to improving herself is truly inspiring, especially after coming from such a tough starting point with little support from her family back home. I mean can you even imagine having to deal with all that pressure on your own? 
but she persevered, worked hard, and look at her now! 
they're literally living proof that family support can take you places. I'm getting chills thinking about it 
and I love how Temwa credits her new teammates for welcoming her like one of their own 
it's all about community and uplifting each other, you know?
Temwa's achievements are not just a testament to her own hard work but also a reminder that anything is possible if you believe in yourself 
I mean, can we talk about how they don't have a 'player of the month' feature? Like, it would be super helpful to see how well each player is doing on a monthly basis. It'd give us fans more insight into who's actually performing and help the team make better decisions during games. And another thing, why do we still have to rely on third-party apps to track stats and awards? The NWSL should really invest in their own platform or app... it's 2025 for crying out loud! 
. It's inspiring to see them support each other both on and off the field 
. I'm sure they'll bring that same fire to Wafcon 
.
. but now shes on top of da world & i cant wait 2 c her rep malawi @ wafcon next yr 
I mean, 63 goals for Wuhan Jianghan? That's insane! And to think she was just telling her sister Tabitha to "grab everything on the NWSL table" before joining the Current last year. Talk about confidence and ambition 
. Her rise to fame is truly inspiring, especially considering how far she's come from playing in China with little support. And now she's got a proven track record of success in the US, and I love that she's been welcomed with open arms by her new teammates 
. I'm rooting for them to crush it at Wafcon next year 
and I don't know how anyone can keep up with her scoring skills. 63 goals in top-flight football? that's insane! 
. But what really gets me is how down-to-earth she seems despite all her success. She's like the ultimate underdog story - from playing with little support to becoming one of the best players in the world 
Temwa's rise to fame is a total Cinderella story - from strugglin' with little support back home to become one of the world's top goalscorers 
️
. Can't wait to see what she does next! 
... Temwa's definitely making the most of it! 
!
. AND IT'S SO COOL TO SEE HOW SHE'S PAID IT FORWARD FROM HER DAYS PLAYING IN CHINA WITH LITTLE SUPPORT FROM HER FAMILY AND SISTER 
. TEMWA'S PROOF THAT WITH HARD WORK, DEDICATION, AND A GREAT TEAM BEHIND YOU, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!! 
. Have you noticed how often they're compared to those tennis legends? It's like someone's trying to recreate a winning formula or something 
. And what's with the "grab everything on the NWSL table" advice from their sister? Sounds like someone was trying to prepare them for a bigger agenda 
... I'm not saying Tabitha and Temwa are in cahoots, but it's definitely suspicious 
.
