The Football Association of Malawi has fined Mzuzu City Hammers for failing to attend a mandatory pre-match meeting ahead of their Castel Challenge Cup semi-final encounter against FCB Nyasa Big Bullets.
According to FAM records, Mzuzu City Hammers did not attend the pre-match meeting scheduled for 3:30pm on Friday, 6 January 2026, at Kamuzu Stadium. The meeting was a compulsory administrative requirement aimed at ensuring proper coordination of match logistics, safety arrangements and compliance with competition regulations.
