Temwa Chawinga is a Malawian striker who became a reference in African women's football, standing out for her goal-scoring instinct in leagues in the United States and China. After stints with Chinese clubs, she transferred to the American NWSL, where she established herself as one of the league's leading scorers. Her trajectory boosted the international recognition of Malawi's women's football, a country with little tradition on the world stage.
