Nyasulu said the purpose of the team\u2019s formation was to promote football, mainly focusing on the youth.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will invest a substantial amount of money in the team to make it one of the best teams in the country. Our goal is to see the team playing in the elite league next season,\u201d Gowa-Nyasulu said.<\/p>\n
He further pledged to invest in sports infrastructure.<\/p>\n
Football Association of Malawi (Fam) Vice-President, James Mwenda, urged the new team to focus on youth football development.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe cannot talk of meaningful football development if we don\u2019t invest in grassroots football. I urge you to combine football development and also encourage the players to focus on education,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Chirwa said he had assembled a good squad capable of earning Super League promotion.<\/p>\n
Reports suggest that Tiyuni are targeting Silver rejects, Ndaona Daisi and Ian Banda.<\/p>\n
