The Malawi National women football team has resumed camping at Chiwembe Technical Centre in Blantyre ahead of a friendly match against Tanzania in Dar es Salaam on November 7.
The team stopped camping on Tuesday last week after the match, initially scheduled for Lilongwes’ Civo Stadium on October 24, was cancelled because of elections in Tanzania.
The recently appointed technical panel headed by coach Thom Mkorongo has since recalled 24 players into camp.
Meanwhile, National Women Football Committee (NWFC) chairperson Severia Chalira said they are taking the friendly match seriously.
Said Chalira: “We will use this friendly match against Tanzania to prepare for the Confederation of Southern Africa Football Association [Cosafa] Championships to be held in Seychelles next March.”
