Football enthusiasts in Mzuzu will know the status of Mzuzu Stadium when Football Association of Malawi’s (Fam) Club Licencing Committee makes its determination today.
This follows an order which Fam president Walter Nyamilandu gave the committee to make a determination on the status of Mzuzu Stadium within 48 hours, effective Thursday.
Nyamilandu made the remarks after inspecting the stadium on Thursday, where he expressed satisfaction over renovation works by Mzuzu City Council.
“I have no problem with the pitch so far. It is now playable and they have met all short term requirements we requested.
“For now, it can start hosting games for this season but for long term, Mzuzu needs a new state of the art stadium, so within 48 hours, they should tell the public of the new status of the stadium,” Nyamilandu said.
On his part, Mzuzu City Council Director of Parks, Leisure and Environment, Yotamu Mtafya said the renovations have cost them over K5 million and they expect to cough over K35 million to complete the exercise.
“We are optimistic that Fam will open the stadium because when they inspected, it was observed that we have done all the required assignments,” Mtafya said.
