SAN DIEGO (Sept. 5, 2025) – The NWSL announced today that San Diego Wave FC midfielder Kenza Dali has been named to the Best XI, presented by Amazon Prime, for the month of August. The NWSL Best XI is determined by the NWSL Media Association and the NWSL’s on-air broadcast talent and includes 11 players across eight teams for the month of August.
Dali has started in every match for the Wave this season (18) and scored her third goal of the year in the Club’s 2-1 victory against Bay FC Dash on August 16. The goal was a beautiful connection between the French midfielder and Canadian international Adriana Leon when the two passed the ball across the box before Dali struck a perfectly placed first-time shot into the nearside upper corner.
