CAN féminine Maroc 2026 : les sœurs Chawinga, les grandes artisanes du parcours historique du Malawi
In their first-ever appearance at the Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), Malawi secured a place in the final after a remarkable run. This is a historic achievement for the East African team, which can rely heavily on two exceptional players: the sisters Tenwa and Tabitha Chawinga.
The two forwards, true spearheads of the Malawian team, played a decisive role in their country's qualification for the final. Between them, they scored nine of Malawi's twelve goals since the start of the competition, perfectly symbolizing their team's attacking prowess.
The younger sister, 27-year-old Tenwa Chawinga, who plays for the Kansas City Current in the United States, particularly distinguished herself. On the very first day, she made a strong impression by scoring twice against the reigning African champions, Nigeria (3-2). With five goals and an assist to her name, she has established herself as one of the most decisive players at this AFCON.
Beyond his statistics, Tenwa also contributes significantly to the game. His speed, power, ability to beat opponents, and vision allow him to constantly create danger for opposing defenses. His work rate also contributes to the overall balance of the Malawian national team.
Meanwhile, her older sister, 30-year-old Tabitha Chawinga, brings all her experience to the table. Captain of Malawi and a player for Olympique Lyonnais, the striker also rose to the occasion. With four goals, she is among the tournament's top performers.
Complementary on the pitch, the two sisters are Malawi's main attacking asset. Their understanding and effectiveness have largely contributed to their team's incredible run, which now sees them preparing to play in their first-ever Women's Africa Cup of Nations final.
Facing Cameroon in the final, Malawi's hopes will once again rest largely on the shoulders of Tenwa and Tabitha Chawinga. The two forwards will be tasked with continuing their remarkable run and, perhaps, delivering Malawi's first major continental trophy.
