Super League of Malawi (Sulom) has charged FCB Nyasa Big Bullets with two offences for their failure to control actions of their supporters and bringing the game of football into disrepute.
This follows the fracas that happened during their TNM Super League match against leaders Silver Strikers which they lost 1-0 at Kamuzu Stadium on Sunday.
In a statement dated June 5 2024, Sulom says Bullets have been charged for failing to control actions of their supporters and officials, in line with Article 26. 2. 31 and 26.2.33 of Sulom rules and regulations.
“Bullets, an affiliate of Sulom, being a home team playing against Silver Strikers, failed to control their supporters who pelted [sic] stones, bottles onto the field of play in the 90th minute, forcing the match to end prematurely. Furthermore, the irate supporters damaged and deflated bus tyres for both visiting and home teams forcing delayed departures,” the statement reads.

“Bullets, on the same date and place, caused some disorderliness damaging the image of the sponsors TNM plc, Sulom and the game.’’

On Tuesday, Bullets said they had opened investigations into the matter. The club also indicated that it would closely work with Silver on the issue of repairing damage.
