Two-time MVP and Golden Boot winner Temwa Chawinga’s aura charges KC Current

If the National Women’s Soccer League had an award for aura, Kansas City Current forward Temwa Chawinga would be a frontrunner. Why not add another trophy to the two MVP and Golden Boot awards she has collected in consecutive years since joining the league?The 27-year-old Malawi international returned to the Current’s CPKC Stadium on Saturday afternoon for the first time since sustaining a hip adductor injury last October. Chawinga’s close-cropped fade is a revolving array of color, and for her 2026 NWSL debut, she opted for violet. The bright hue stood out from the Current’s fiery red kits and Gotham FC’s all-business black as she streaked across the pitch.Advertisement
