Prime Insurance has reaffirmed its commitment to sports development and its decade-long partnership with the Malawi Defence Force (MDF) by donating a football kit worth over K20 million to Mzuzu-based Moyale Barracks.

The donation, presented this morning, includes two sets of uniforms, 40 tracksuits, three sets of bibs, two pairs of gloves, 30 pairs of boots, 30 shin pads, and 36 t-shirts.

Speaking during the presentation ceremony, Prime Insurance board chairperson Andrina Mchiela highlighted the company’s strong relationship with the MDF, which insures all its vehicles with the company. “We want to go beyond business and strengthen our association with the armed forces through Moyale Barracks, who have shown commendable performance by finishing in the top eight of the 2024 TNM Super League season,” Mchiela stated.

Moyale Barracks Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Colonel Helbert Leman, expressed gratitude for the support, emphasizing the positive impact it would have on the team. “This donation motivates us to fight harder and aim for the championship in the coming season. We also commit to maintaining high levels of discipline among our players and supporters,” said Leman.

Moyale Barracks, known for their determination and teamwork, have consistently been a force to reckon with in the TNM Super League. With this timely support, the team is optimistic about achieving greater heights in the 2025 season.

Prime Insurance’s gesture underscores the importance of private sector involvement in supporting sports development in Malawi. It is expected to boost morale among the Moyale Barracks players and contribute to the growth of football in the country.
