Malawi U-17 Girls National Team has been placed in Group A alongside hosts Namibia and Comoros for the 2025 COSAFA U17 Girls’ Championship, set to take place from May 10 to 17 in Windhoek, Namibia.

Head Coach Linda Kasenda remains optimistic, expressing confidence in her team’s ability to advance beyond the group stages.

“It’s a fair draw looking at the teams we have been drawn against. Last year, we failed to progress from the group stage, but this time around we target to finish top of our group so that we progress to the semi-finals,” said Kasenda.

Malawi made their debut in the 2022 edition of the championship, finishing third on home soil in Lilongwe.
