Media Release: Malawi Senior Football National Team Coach

Football Association of Malawi (FAM) wishes to inform all its stakeholders and the public that it has terminated the contract of the Malawi Senior Men’s National football Team Coach Mr. Patrick Mabedi with immediate effect.

This is in line with resolutions of the FAM Emergency Committee held on 28th October 2024. The decision is based on the recommendations from the Technical Committee following the dismal performance of the Flames and subsequent failure to qualify for the Total Energies AFCON 2025.

Football Association of Malawi would like to assure all stakeholders that it will ensure seamless continuity in the Flames’ undertakings in the various competitions. FAM will be putting together a temporary technical panel that will lead the team into the next assignments until a substantive replacement is identified.

We believe that stakeholders and the public will keep on rallying behind the Flames and continue to support our beloved National Team.

Football Association of Malawi is grateful for the contribution made by Coach Mabedi during the time he served as Flames’ Coach and wishes the tactician all the best in his future endeavors.
