Tabitha and Temwa Chaŵinga changed what was possible for Malawian football.
From childhood pitches in northern Malawi to the biggest leagues in the world—and now Malawi’s first FIFA Women’s World Cup—their story is still being written.
Before Malawi had a pathway into the upper levels of women’s football, Tabitha Chaŵinga built one.
If Tabitha opened the road, Temwa has spent the last several years driving down it at extraordinary speed.
Malawi arrived at their first-ever Women’s Africa Cup of Nations as debutants. Five matches later, the Scorchers are World Cup-bound and one victory away from becoming champions of Africa.
The Chaŵinga story reaches far beyond football. It is a story of two sisters, a family, a country, and what becomes possible when extraordinary talent refuses to be contained.
