 This loss has sparked calls for the dismissal of General Patrick Mabedi and his staff, as the team’s struggles have reached unprecedented levels ¹.
 
The Football Association of Malawi’s (FAM) president, Fleetwood Haiya had promised transformation and improvement in his manifestos.
 
However, Haiya’s “Football Transformation” agenda seems to be faltering, with the team yet to secure a win under his leadership.
 
Under Mabedi’s tutelage, the Flames have registered only two wins in ten African confederation matches, sparking frustration among fans.
 
Through Facebook page the soccer pundit David Kayenda has expressed his disappointment, stating that “the team was essentially eliminated after their home defeat to Burundi, the lowest-ranked nation in the group.”
 
The team’s performance has been dismal, with a record of 2 wins and 8 defeats in recent matches:
 

• Recent Matches:
      – Malawi 0-1 Senegal
      – Senegal 4-0 Malawi
      – Burkina Faso 3-1 Malawi
      – Malawi 2-3 Burundi
      – Equatorial Guinea 1-0 Malawi

      – Malawi 1-2 Zambia
      – Malawi 0-4 Kenya
      – Malawi 0-1 Tunisia

  FIFA is likely to issue updated rankings of nations in which Malawi will likely drop as the team continues to struggle, fans are left wondering if they will ever see a turnaround in their fortunes.
