Bingu Stadium match nets K47mil in Luso TV Bus Ipite final leg
The Luso TV Bus Ipite Football Bonanza second leg match involving football giants Mighty Be Forward Wanderers and Nyasa Big Bullets at the newly constructed Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe netted a record K47, 123,760 from the gates.
This is the highest amount of money ever realised from gate collections in the history of Malawi football.
From the gross collection, organisers of the event Luso Television pocketed the lions’ share of K25 million with ground owners- Ministry of Labour, Youth, Sports and Manpower Development claiming K9.6 million.
Football Association of Malawi (Fam) levy amounted to K3.8 million while security police personnel got a total of K2.7 million. The gate management firm owned by Lilongwe based Japhet Majekete pocketed K3.2 million.
Match stewards received K1.2 million in total with the rest of the expenses going towards printing of tickets, first aid, fire fighters and other expenses.
As per agreement with the organisers, Wanderers and Bullets did not benefit anything from the gates. Apart from dangling the 26-seater bus valued at K25 million, which was eventually won by Wanderers, the organisers paid for all the teams’ expenses, ranging from transport, meals, accommodation and game bonuses.
Fam general secretary Alfred Gunda, who provided the figures confirmed this is the highest amount ever realised from the gates in any football match.
The Bus Ipite first leg played at Kamuzu Stadium in Blantyre on December 26, 2016 grossed K13.6 million.

These guys have made a huge profit.makasu alima atayidwa apo,going back manjamanja ena in a second hand bus.
Kodi game mesa timalipila MK2000 pa khomo. Nanga 760 wakumapetoyo wachokera kutiko? I cry for my beloved Bullets. Honestrly, you get nothing from all this money? Its a pity of the highest order.
This makes me cry for our players in Malawi, i won’t let my son play football in Malawi its a total waste of time and future. this is a 1993 model bus and can’t be worth that much, this is a day time robbery. These football institution are just worthless and corrupt.
The first game has really impressed. Let’s follow the trend during next matches. But all in all ticket sales were super.
Turning to the sponsors, tinene mowopa Mulungu, bus imene ija singakwane K25m ayi. Chimavuta ndi chiyani kungonena chilungamo?
This could be a good business. I will organise my game next time!
