The Football Association of Malawi has learnt with great sadness the passing on of its former president Mr. John Zingale on Tuesday morning at Mlambe Hospital in Blantyre.
The late Mr. Zingale was the President of FAM between 1998- 2002.
“Our deepest condolences to his family and friends for their loss, hope they find strength in these difficult times. As the Association, the passing on of Mr. Zingale saddens us,”
He will greatly be remembered for being at the helm of the Association when the Malawi National Football team showed great improvements.
“It was under his leadership that the Flames reached the Cosafa Cup final for the first time ever. It was also during his tenure that Malawi won the Cosafa Under 17 Youth Championship”
“The country has lost a true friend of football who was so passionate about the game as shown by his commitment in sponsoring football teams and competitions in the country using personal funds. He contributed a lot to the development of football nationally. This is a major blow for Malawian football.”
May His Soul Rest in Peace
Walter Nyamilandu
