Which parent at this point in Malawi wishes his son became a footballer??? Should a child show any interest in football, he is stopped immediately! Are you sure football can not be a career? That tells it all, we have all belittled the sport hence the dwindling standards. Imagine all the pitches that were used for the young stars to play on, there is a structure. Where will they practice and develop their skill? At the national team? If we can only change the our mentality, to believe that our children can make a living out of football then the… Read more »

The football in 70s n 80s as said by Victor was based on performance of an individual and not on club neither place of origin. Secondly, identification of players was being done even in rural areas. Koma pano nobody ku FAM kapena Sports Council amene amapita kumidziko regardless of so many opportunities of league games sponsored by politicians and others.

Football standards have gone down drastically due to lack of long term planning by both government and FAM. Success in the game is based on massive investment especially in the youth. One wonders how a country can achieve success in such a popular game without having even a single well known academy. Clubs rely on old players scouted from rural areas having played on bare ground without playing shoes. Such players become the so-called stars for the national team and featuring in the sub-standard Malawian super league. FAM administrators have for long believed in short term achievements instead of laying… Read more »
