Cameroonian Maeva Nyadjou Signs with Kansas City

The transfer activity for the Indomitable Lionesses, the reigning African champions, shows no signs of slowing down. Following Kiki Meva, Nina Soufiya Ngueleu, and Colette Ndzana, it’s now Maeva Nyadjou’s turn to head to the United States.

Maeva Nyadjou is leaving the Guinness Super League for the National Women’s Soccer League. The 19-year-old defender has signed a three-season contract with Kansas City Current, running through 2029.

Thanks to the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations

The 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco accelerated her rise. As a starter for the Indomitable Lionesses, who were crowned African champions, she made one decisive play after another. The memory remains vivid: that free kick against Nigeria in the quarterfinals that propelled Cameroon into the final four.

First Step Abroad

She has become the first player trained in Cameroon to join the U.S. Women’s National Soccer League (WNSL) directly. This sends a strong signal to the local league. Kansas City is banking on her well-rounded skill set: solid in one-on-one situations, effective at restarting play, and dangerous on set pieces.
