Racheal Kundananji Aims for Consistent Goal Scoring in 2025 NWSL Season with Bay FC

Racheal Kundananji looks forward to a more consistent performance in the 2025 NWSL season with Bay FC, aiming to surpass her 2024 achievements and lead her team to new heights.

As Racheal Kundananji prepares for her second season with Bay FC in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL), her ambitions are clear: to outperform her previous season and solidify her role as a key player for her team. After joining Bay FC in a record-breaking transfer, Kundananji scored five goals in her debut season, with notable performances that hinted at her potential.

High Expectations and Personal Goals

Kundananji, who was the record transfer in women's football when she moved from Madrid CFF to Bay FC for €735,000, is not resting on her laurels. Reflecting on her first season, she acknowledges the missed opportunities but remains optimistic about the future. "I feel like I missed a lot of chances. This year, I won't promise anything, but just watch out," she told ESPN.

Team Dynamics and Strategy

With Bay FC entering their second season in the NWSL, Kundananji emphasizes the importance of team cohesion and strategic improvements. "As Bay FC, we are no longer a new team. We now belong to the NWSL because this is our second season, so we need to do something different - something beautiful," she stated.

Mental Approach and Fan Support

Kundananji's mental approach to the game is as crucial as her physical skills. She believes in playing freely and enjoying the game, which she credits for her best performances last season. Additionally, she has developed a unique way to handle criticism from fans and critics, using their support during her successes as motivation to push through challenging times.

Looking Ahead

Bay FC's upcoming season promises exciting matchups, including a crucial game against Utah Royals and a clash with Orlando Pride. Kundananji hopes these games are not just about winning but also about elevating the team's status in the league. With her determination and experience, Kundananji is poised to make a significant impact in the 2025 NWSL season.
