As the highly anticipated Castel Challenge Cup finals between Wanderers and Mzuzu City Hammers approaches, the National Supporters Committee (NSC) has issued a rallying call to Wanderers fans across the country to unite and support their team in the biggest match of the season.
Chairperson of the NSC, Mervin Nkunika, and Cheerleader Yona Malunga spoke to Wanderers Media on Thursday, urging fans from Nsanje to Chitipa to throng Bingu National Stadium on Saturday and cheer the Nomads to victory.
“We have waited for such a moment for a long time,” Nkunika said. “We now have an opportunity to bring the trophy home. We need to unite, put behind all the differences that might have been there and support our team.”
Nkunika emphasized the importance of a united front in the face of adversity, saying, “We need to stand together and show our players that we believe in them.
We need to give them the energy and motivation they need to win.”
Cheerleader Yona Malunga echoed Nkunika’s sentiments, calling on fans to maintain peace and decorum during the match. “We want to see a sea of red and yellow at the stadium on Saturday,” Malunga said.
“We want to create an electrifying atmosphere that will intimidate our opponents and inspire our team to victory.”
Malunga also urged fans to avoid any behavior that could be perceived as hooliganism or disorderly conduct. “We want to show the world that Malawian football fans are respectable and sportsmanlike,” he said.
