ARRIVING FOR TRAINING AT KAMUZU STADIUM MONDAY—MzavaMalawi Flames

Malawi national football team Manager, James Sangala, has said all foreign-based players have joined camp training ahead of the trip to Morocco.

The Flames are preparing for Saturday’s Africa Cup of Nations Group B qualifier against Morocco in Casablanca.

Sangala said the final batch of the foreign-based players arrived in the country Monday morning.

“So we can say it is a full house,” he said.

Mozambique-based Banda brothers, Frank and John, arrived Monday morning alongside goalkeeper Charles Swini.

On Monday, South Africa-based captain Limbikani Mzava jetted in followed by Jabulani Linje, who is based in Japan, Precious Sambani and Peter Banda who have returned from trials in Belgium.

Other foreign-based players in camp are Gerald Phiri Junior, Gabadinho Mhango and Atusaye Nyondo.

The Flames will leave for Morocco today. Malawi started the qualifiers with a 1-0 win over Comoros Islands last year whereas Morocco lost 1-0 away to Cameroon.
