"Beyond Banda & Chawinga: The NWSL’s Search for Africa’s Next Talent," End of Season Recap with Inonge Kaloustian

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

vendredi 7 novembre 2025 • Durée 01:29:43

In this episode, we dive into the highs and lows of the NWSL regular season through the lens of the African wave shaping the league. Are clubs, in their hunt for the next Banda, Chawinga, or Kundananji, misprofiling African players and unintentionally stalling careers? We unpack that question, along with the growing pressures African players face as family breadwinners — and what support the league should be offering for life beyond football.

We also look closely at Barbra Banda’s injury and whether WAFCON, heavy travel, and scheduling demands may have contributed to it. Plus: standout performers from this season and the rising talents NWSL teams should have on their radar.

This is part one of a two-part conversation. Next up: Tamerra Griffin — journalist for The Athletic covering the women’s game worldwide and host of the weekly Full Time podcast.
