Ekhaya FC forward Allen Chihana has been confirmed as the top goal scorer of the 2026 Airtel Top 8 Cup, capping off a remarkable individual campaign after finding the net in all four matches the Cowboys played en route to lifting the trophy.

Chihana’s goals helped fire Ekhaya to a historic title win, with the club becoming the first debutants to lift the Airtel Top 8 trophy after beating Mighty Wanderers 2-1 in Sunday’s final at Bingu National Stadium – a match in which Chihana himself was on the scoreshee

Chihana’s stunning scoring run saw him score in every single fixture Ekhaya contested throughout the tournament, playing a starring role as the debutants stormed to a historic title triumph.

His golden touch in front of goal now looks set to be rewarded handsomely, with Chihana in line to pocket K1.35 million as his prize for finishing as the competition’s leading marksman.

The achievement caps a sensational few days for Ekhaya, who stunned Malawian football by becoming the first-ever debutants to win the Airtel Top 8 title, defeating giants Mighty Wanderers 2-1 in Sunday’s final at Bingu National Stadium — with Chihana himself among the scorers on the day.
