FA Malawi to follow up on UK-based Henri Kumwenda
Football Association of Malawi (FAM) has said it is following young Malawian sensation striker Henri Kumwenda based in Leeds, UK who has attracted the attention of Liverpool and two other English Premiership League clubs Arsenal and Man City.
FAM president Water Nyamilandu said the body is following the “whizz-kid” with keen interest.
“We are also trying to establish more details to see if he is willing to play for his home country Malawi,” said Nyamilandu.
Apart from Henri Kumwenda, FAM president said they have also received reports about several talented young Malawians in England that are playing professional football.
Nyamilandu said FAM is working with a “correspondent in the UK” to compile a list of all the players “so that we can approach them for further assessment.”
He said FAM’s intention in “raising the bar” is to capitalise on the window of opportunity that has presented itself through dual nationality “so that we can strengthen our national team with talented players in diaspora.”

Lack of dual nationality did not prevent foreign based players from playing for Malawi. Walter has no clue about the issue of dual nationality. If Kumwenda is that good would you expect him to chose to play for lowly Malawi instead of glamorous England?
Munthu uyu mutu wake siumagwira ntchito bwino. Akufunika kuchipatala. Maplayer mumayenera kumawalondola nokha osati kudikira ena awaone ndiye mudziyamba phokoso. Mwanayu sangalole kusewera timu yanu baba. Zitayeni musanachite manyazi.
This Walter dude needs to have his head examined.
Join the discussion…Sure. His head is not working properly. If no team had shown any interest in him, then they could have been quite. Shame on him indeed.
