Football Legends Association (FLA) has a shortfall of K58 million to achieve its target of raising K250 million ahead of the annual general meeting (AGM) and gala night in Lilongwe this coming weekend.
FLA Board Member Kinnah Phiri disclosed this after the association received K5 million from Simama Hotels and K3 million from Austo Brake and Clutch in Lilongwe on Tuesday.
Phiri was optimistic on chances of raising the balance before this coming weekend.
“We have received an overwhelming response from the corporate world. We are confident that other companies and individuals will support our initiatives,” Phiri said.
