Super League of Malawi (Sulom) has fined Masters Security FC for failing to honour their last TNM Super League match against Nyasa Big Bullets on Saturday.
\nSulom fined Masters K1 million for putting football into disrepute, following their no-show at Chilomoni Stadium in Blantyre.
\nSulom also fined Masters K600, 000 and K 500, 000 for failing to control their players and not fulfilling the fixture, respectively.
\nThe league governing body\u2019s General Secretary, Williams Banda, said the fine was in line with rules and regulations.
\n\u201cThey are yet to respond but it is true that we have fined them. They have a right to appeal but they must pay [the fine] before playing any official match.
\n\u201cWe have also warned them that they should not commit a similar offence for a year and, once they do it again, they would be expelled from the elite league,\u201d Banda said.
\nMasters General Secretary, Zachariah Nyirenda, said the club would respond to Sulom after consulting lawyers.
\n\u201cActually, we met as an Executive Committee and reviewed the scenario but we have accepted these fines,\u201d Nyirenda said.
\nMasters failed to honour the fixture as players boycotted the match over unpaid game bonuses dating back to November 2017.
\nSulom has also fined Mafco K1.5 million for failing to control their players and officials during the match they lost 2-1 to Nyasa Big Bullets at Chitowe Stadium on December 3.
\nSulom has also banned Mafco players Zikhole Ngulube, Martin Masoatheka, Maurice Chiumia and Emmanuel Chipeta for five official matches from next season.
\nPlayers Calisto Kalinda and Dingiswayo Banda have also been banned for three matches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
