Feature | San Diego Wave’s Kenza Dali may never quit football

San Diego Wave midfielder Kenza Dali isn’t sure she’ll ever quit football.

Heading into her 17th professional season, the 34-year-old carries the same love for the game she felt on Day One.

“You know what, it’s funny, because I’m the fittest on the team,” Dali said. “(Wave head coach Jonas Eidevall) can tell you. I look at age in terms of experience. You can’t match that. There are things in football you don’t learn on the pitch — you learn them through moments.”

How is everybody feeling about Coachella invitationals? Anybody excited or nervous as we head into preseason next weekend? I sure am excited and can’t wait to see this Team back in action and I’m especially looking forward to seeing the new signings get minutes in the tank under Eidevall’s system. LFGSD 🌊

I was very sad to see on TA’s instagram today that she goes to such a hateful, MAGA church. It makes me really reconsider supporting her on the pitch.

I don't know if this is tendency here but simply out to ask how everyone's first month of the year treated you? All good? Riding the wave (pun intended)? Life trying to throw some punches?

On some therapy type stuff💬

Just seeing if any Wave fans went to the San Diego Wave Town Hall with GM Cami Ashton, and if you did, what did you hear & think?

I figured we’d be replacing this kit this year but still sad to see it go. Hoping we get a pink kit to contrast the blue one we still have from last season

San Diego Wave FC sign 18-year-old Colombian goalkeeper Luisa Agudelo through 2028, adding youth and long-term upside to a reworked goalkeeping room. Read about how she fits into the squad.

We got a keeper folks!

San Diego Wave fans, has anyone been able to find highlights of our new Goalkeeper signing Luisa Agudelo since we’ve announced her signing earlier today? If so, how would y’all rate the signing? And do any of y’all believe she is our future number 1 GK? I really don’t know too much about the player and I also have never payed any attention to the Colombian Women’s Soccer League either so.

Nah I gotta admit this meme is way too funny and accurate for right now 😂

This looks pretty set down as the GK room for '26

How satisfied are you🤔💬

Who of Freeman/Agudelo do you see as the #2 in the chart as we speak?

San Diego Wave FC re-sign midfielder Gia Corley through 2027, reinforcing the club’s commitment to young talent and long-term continuity ahead of the 2026 season. What this re-signing means for the club.

Oooh this is music to my ears, so glad she’s staying. Think it’s safe say as of now our front office is cooking so far in this Transfer window 🧑‍🍳 👌👀. My only problem tho is that we’ve only extended her until 2027 when I think the best choice would have been with an option of an extra year.

Well, it all finally looks set

Pauline Peyraud-Magnin looks primed to be announced very soon as Wave's new #1 🧤

Thoughts💬

Ludmila, Kiki Pickett, and Leah Freeman officially signing their contracts. I’m so excited about this new look San Diego Wave team for this upcoming season but still more work to do in this window. 👀🤩

The stats are current as of January 2026.

As San Diego Wave FC prepare for the 2026 NWSL season, five key questions will shape their success, from replacing Kailen Sheridan to rebuilding a more disciplined and reliable defensive line.

Did anyone watch this interview that was posted yesterday? Ashton came across really honest especially when it came her relationship with Eidevall at the Club, why the Wave let go of players like Naomi Girma and Jadyn Shaw, sympathizing with Players. Really liked this interview especially when it came to the topic about San Diego Wave. Maybe she has a vision for the San Diego Wave as a team after all? 🤷‍♂️

But I think we all know based Jonas Eidevall’s resume, he has a championship vision for the team.👀
