The Malawi Queens are drawing praise for their performance during a training camp in the United Kingdom ahead of the 2026 Glasgow Commonwealth Games, according to Nation Online. Over the weekend, the squad participated in closed-door training matches in Manchester against the England men's netball team and New Zealand. Expatriate coach Debbie Fuller expressed satisfaction with the team's adaptability and speed on the court. She also highlighted the impressive attacking combinations among shooters Mwawi Kumwenda, Tendai Masamba, and Stella Matelezi as they prepare for the tournament.
In domestic football, a structural engineer has declared Kamuzu Stadium beyond repair, noting that exposed and eroding reinforcement metals in the terraces make restoration too difficult, Nation Online reports. The engineer advised that a cost-benefit analysis favors demolishing the current structure and investing in a new facility. Following a stakeholder meeting, Blantyre-based clubs FCB Nyasa Big Bullets, Mighty Wanderers, and Ekhaya FC agreed to pool resources for minor repairs to secure a temporary reopening by the Football Association of Malawi. The clubs also urged the government to finish the nearby Soche Stadium, which currently stands at 75 percent completion, to accommodate top-flight matches.
Update: Following their recent exit from the Airtel Top 8, FCB Nyasa Big Bullets return to FDH Bank Premiership action this afternoon, according to Nation Online. They are joined by Silver Strikers, with both teams looking to secure wins in the league against Ekhaya FC and Karonga United, the exact opponents that knocked them out of the cup competition last week.
