Flames Head Coach Kalisto Pasuwa has named a 26-man squad for Malawi’s upcoming international friendly matches against Lesotho, scheduled for 15th and 18th November 2025 in Bloemfontein, South Africa.
The two matches, to be played at the Toyota Stadium, fall within the November FIFA international window and will form part of the team’s continued preparations for upcoming AFCON qualifiers fixtures.
The squad features 16 foreign-based players, including Yann Kouakou of Europa Point FC, who has earned his maiden national team call-up, and Chifundo Mphasi, who receives his first call-up under Pasuwa.
