FAM president fears for Bullets on Caf expenses
Football Association of Malawi (FAM) President Walter Nyamilandu has expressed his fears over unsponsored Malawi top league champions Big Bullets’ daring to participate in the continental 2015 CAF Champions League estimated at K180 million.
Nyamilandu fears how Bullets would manage to meet the expenses of the Champions League expenses while the national team, which enjoys government funding struggles to fulfill assignments.
“I am very nervous about this uncertainty surrounding funding. It is a great concern to me and the association. I am worried that in the absence of sponsorship locally, how will they be able to fulfill international engagements with one trip costing K20m,” Nyamilandu said.
He said the team had no clear vision on how they would manage to secure sponsorship for tournament as the clock ticks closer to the first game against Fomboni of Coromos Island on February 13.
“I see a lot of pressure of pressure being piled on them to secure the sponsorship and there is no clear vision on where the funding will come from,” he said.
But he said the team’s successful participation in the tournament would benefit the nation.
“I am hoping for the best as their participation will benefit all of us. However my worry is that when fines are imposed it is the association [FAM] paying as they were registered in our name,” he said.
Bullets Chairperson Kondie Msungama however insisted that the discussions for a possible sponsorship were at higher level.
CAF stipulates that could face US$1,500 (about K750,000) fine and a country is banned for two editions.
Civo United and Escom United also registered to participate but withdrew from the tournament.
Usovege! go! go! go! maule
I din’t expect frustrating remarks like these from one Walter Nyamulandu. Instead of sugesting ways of assiting the peoples team in getting funds for CAF participation, he is dicouraging them. Anyway, he was once a Nomads player and official, no wonder.
water ndiwe water basi palibe chanzeru chomwe wakambapo apa kodi tiziti achina kondiwo polowa sakuziwa kuti kufunika ndalama wapenga misala iwe ait
Maule muisova….kikkkkk
Walter shut up concentrate on fam and wanderers leave bullets alone ukuona ngati ndalama zichokera Mu nthumba mwako eti shut up and just concentrate on your habit of womanising
This statement from FA president is unfortunate.H e should be the one in the forefront assisting in the solicitation of funds, after all he hasn’t asked Bullets how they are going to meet all the expenses related to CAF champions league participation. He is always doubting and that’s the problem of a person who sits in an office and his thinking horizon is also confined to that office not knowing that the sky is the limit…. amati kanthu ndi khama phwiti anakwatira njiwa …. ili ndi khama la BB asiyeni afuna kuona kuti munthu ukachita khama zimakutengera pati.
zanunso izo a nyamilandu, koma ikanakhala wanderers ndiye mukanakhala pasogolo looking for sponsors. bullets ndi timu yabwino kwathu kuno ngakhale imakunyasani a nyamilandu. try to develop football not kill the game of in Malawi,
Chilungamo chimapweteka heve
Ngait sakudziwa komwe BB ipeze ndalama it means za BB sizikumukhaza koma za NOMA.
Instead of encouraging the BB committee n helping them to find away to get money,he is busy discouraging.
Poyamba ankati BB will never accepted bcs we ve no club house and more.
Manyazi anamugwira titalembedwa.
Mbuzi ya president mumuuze!
Maybe the people’s team has other plans lets wait and see
