Football Association of Malawi (FAM) president Fleetwood Haiya has urged lower league clubs in the country to follow Ekhaya FC’s example of going commercial.
He said this at the Amaryllis Hotel in Blantyre as the Southern Region Football Association (SRFA) League Division One champions unveiled their uniforms and replicas ahead of their campaign in the 2024 ThumbsUp SRFA League Premier Division.
“Progress always begins with self-belief. Ekhaya FC has just earned promotion into the second tier league but they have already shown their potential of becoming a big club through their innovations and ambitious plans. We need more clubs to follow suit,” said Haiya, who bought a replica at K500 000.
Ekhaya FC director William Mpinganjira, who also represents sponsors Ekhaya Group of Companies, said they harbour ambitious plans of playing in the Super League next season and they saw it fit to enhance their brand awareness.
“We are a team that dreams big and, as we fight for top-flight league slot next season, we would like to grow in all spheres including our fan base. We are capable of becoming a big name in football,” he said.
A performance by urban musician Kell Kay spiced up the ceremony.
