FAM welcomes postponement of the Scorchers qualifier against the Copper Queens

 FAM says it has welcomed Confederation of African Football’s (CAF) move to postpone the qualifiers of the 2022 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (AWCON).

According to Malawi Nation Sports, FAM president Walter Nyamilandu says the postponement augured well with the Association after a long layoff due to Covid-19.

Nyamilandu says the Scorchers need a full house as they were not guaranteed of the availability of China-based Tabitha and Temwa Chawinga due to new Covid-19 restrictions that have been imposed in China.


Malawi’s Scorchers were expected to face Zambia’s She-polopolo in the first round next month.

But according to a communique from the continental football governing body, the qualifiers have been postponed due to poor conditions of some stadia.

The communique states that the first round matches will now take place during the Fifa window of October 18 to 26 while the second round will be played in the window of February 14 to 23 2022.

In his President Column, Kamanga says the Association’s efforts to recruit a coach suffered serious resistance leaving the Football governing body to rely on local coaches that oversaw the first two matches. In reference to Micho’s appointment, Kamanga says it is never easy taking the stewardship of any team midway through a campaign as tough as the Africa Cup of Nations.  "In reflecting on this failure, we cannot avoid regretting that we started the campaign without a substantive coach in place which saw us lose the first two matches against Algeria away (5-0) and against Zimbabwe (2-1).
