Malawi Women’s National Football Team captain Tabitha Chawinga and her sister Temwa registered their names on the scoresheet with their respective clubs on Saturday.
Tabitha scored one goal as her club—Olympique Lyonnais—thrashed Toulouse 5-0 in the French Division 1 Feminine whereas Temwa netted her 12th goal of the season in Kansas City Current’s 5-1 victory over Bay Football Club in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL).
This could be good news for the Scorchers as both players are expected to join camp tomorrow ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic qualifiers against Zimbabwe at Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe City this coming Friday.
It was Tabitha’s first goal of the season in the league after four matches.
Tabitha said she was delighted with the team’s performance.
