The games are expected to run from December 4 to 16. Other countries to vie for honours are South Africa, Zambia,  Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Botswana,  Namibia, Swaziland and Mozambique.

Reacting to his inclusion,  Mlilima yesterday said he was humbled to be part of the games.

“It is an honour to be on the list. I am humbled because it shows that I have the trust of international organisations,” said the CivoNets coach.

Football Association of Malawi (FAM) recommended Chilinda to the AUSC,  according to the soccer governing body’s referees development officer Maxwell Mtonga.

“Chilinda is young and talented. We want to expose him onto the international stage where we are optimistic he is going to shine,” he said.

Malawi will not participate in team events such as football and netball due to funding limitations.

AUSC games are aimed at encouraging people to develop and come together, irrespective of colour, economic status, political, class or gender. n
