Football Association of Malawi (Fam) is looking at the possibility of securing a home friendly match for the Malawi National Football Team, the Flames, in the next Fifa calendar dates.<\/p>\n
The Flames have played three away friendly matches, having drawn 1-1 against hosts Tanzania at Uhuru Stadium in Dar es Salaam on Saturday, a month after beating Togo 1-0 and drawing 1-1 against Morocco Under-23 in Agadir City.<\/p>\n
Fam General Secretary, Alfred Gunda, on Monday said they were looking at options of securing a home game.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur aim is to host a game in the next Fifa calendar date. But we have several options and we might also play an away game if we fail to secure a home game,\u201d Gunda said.<\/p>\n
Fam and its Lesotho counterparts have reportedly agreed to play a friendly match in Maseru on the weekend of November 11 2017, which is the next Fifa sanctioned date.<\/p>\n
Local football commentator Andrew Chikhosi said the team\u2019s performances have been promising.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the last three games, I think the team has performed well. But I think some experienced players, who are doing well, should be considered because the nation is after immediate results,\u201d Chikhosi said.<\/p>\n
Recently, Belgian Coach, Ronny van Geneugden, said the future of the team looks bright.<\/p>\n
In Saturday\u2019s match against Tanzania, veteran midfielder Robert Ng\u2019ambi put the Flames in the lead after 35 minutes when he headed in a Richard Mbulu cross.<\/p>\n
But the hosts equalised through Simon Msuva in controversial circumstances.<\/p>\n
As part of preparations, the association has written Rwanda, Mozambique and Liberia football associations over the possibility of playing friendly games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
