The Flames  are a goal shy and need at least a 2-0 win over Benin to reach the group stage of the competition.

Football Association of Malawi (FAM) is dangling a K100 000 each Flames player should they win against Benin and qualify.

The Flames still get K30 000 game bonus for a win.

FAM president Walter Nyamilandu said  the Flames stand to get three times more if they sail through.

Meanwhile, defender Harry Nyirenda joined the Flames camp on Thursday and was part of the afternoon training session.

Mozambique duo of Chiukepo Msowoya and Chimango Kayira and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) based Joseph Kamwendo arrived on Wednesday.

Bloemfontein Celtic striker Frank Gabadinho Mhango and defender Limbikani Mzava, who missed the first leg, will arrive likely be the last to arrive on the day of the match.

FAM largely doubted the availability of forward Atusaye Nyondo and midfielder Robert Ng’ambi.

Benin was expected to arrive in the country on Thursday.
