Chawinga scored a jaw-dropping six goals in Kansas City’s four matches last month, notching two braces and adding two assists in the process. She scored in every match in June, outscoring 10 NWSL clubs on her own. 

“She’s been amazing for us,” Current head coach Vlatko Andonovski said. “She scores goals, she assists on goals. She has been very impactful in the games, even when she doesn’t score.”

Chawinga enters the Olympic break tied for first in the Golden Boot race. Her tally of 12 goals is the club record for goals scored in a single season –– and the Current have 10 regular season matches remaining.

This is the second month this season Kansas City has earned Player of the Month honors –– forward Bia Zaneratto achieved the accolade in the March/April awards.

The Current have a week off before returning to training in preparation for the NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup. Group stage play for the tournament will open with Kansas City taking on the Houston Dash at CPKC Stadium Saturday, June 20 at 7 p.m. CT.
