Meet our unsung hero, Richard Justin (aka Dinho) the Flames Kit Master. A selfess hardworking employee of FAM. Let's give him a big praise and a big pat on the back
I was hoping to see an award for the best goal of the tournament. Gabadinho Mhango should have posed with the best of the best. I can't see anyone claiming such honours except the son of the soil. I salute our goal scoring machine.
Rubbing shoulders and sweating it out with the best, Didier Drogba. Not surprised my legs still got it. Its ingrained in my DNA. Qatar just evoked the good old playing days.
The Flames fought a good fight and rattled the cage of the Atlas Lions of Morocco. We played to our last breath and went down fighting. We came as underdogs but left an indelible mark at AFCON. I salute our Warriors for making Malawi proud. Our dream of Raising the Bar lives on.
Ethiopia declares Bingu National Stadium as host venue for its match against Egypt on 9th June. Liverpool fans in Malawi will be delighted to see Mo Salah in action against Ethiopia and later on the Flames. This is what state of the art infrastructure can offer. Bravo Malawi
A day well spent as I celebrated my 50th Birthday with the people that live on scraps and garbage at the Dump Yard (Kuntaya). I was horrified by their abject poverty and dire desparation. I was happy though to bring a smile on their faces. Let's reach out to save a Soul.
Bravo Malawi for qualifying to the knockout stages. The Flames have broken the record and rewritten the history books. This is a dedication to the soccer loving Malawians who have been patient for a long time. Credit to the players and coaches for turning around our fortunes.
We came on a mission to leave a mark with Fast & Furious Football. Today was the ultimate performance against the best team in Africa, Senegal. These are humongous strides in redefining the destiny of Malawi football. We deserve to be amongst the 16 top teams
#RaisingTheBar
Tears of joy by our Coaches. I feel the emotions. Incredible! It's been long time coming. I salute Coach Meck Mwase for taking Malawi to Cameroun, AFCON 2022. Trust in home bred talent pays. Resilience and perseverance pays. Proud of you
This is awesome FDH Bank. You are one in a million. Our heartfelt thanks for going out of your way. This is beyond our wildest dreams. The Flames are proud of FDH Bank for being wth us through thick and thin.

The magnificent Bingu National Stadium has been approved to host international competitions organised by CAF/FIFA. We are delighted that the fans will be able to watch the Flames live and direct at Home.
Despite football in Africa being dominated by the West and North Africans, Malawi still managed to punch above its weight by being amongst the best. Its not the size or wealth that matters but your heart to move mountains. We said we would Raise The Bar. Here We are in Cameroun
Duty calls as I attend the CAF Executive meeting ahead of the kick-off of AFCON 2023 in Abidjani, Cote d'Ivoire. All is set to deliver an exceptional and memorable experience of the Africa Cup of Nations under the leadership of Dr Patrice Motsepe.
My Amazing Dad, ADA Manda, King Muyenkhu. You were One in a Million. You were simply the best. A man of few words, slow to anger and quick to listen. You remain my hero and role model for life. The legacy leaves on as I learnt from the best. Forever in our Hearts. Shalom
One love, One Malawi. Great to see that the Flames has united Malawians despite the prevailing socio-economic political divide. Such is the power of football. We are proud to play our rightful role in uniting Malawians through exploits of the Flames at AFCON.

AFCON 2024 Cote D'Ivoire, here we go! The scene is set and the stage is ready as I will be fully focused as a CAF Executive Member on ensuring that for the next 30 days the celebration of the Africa Cup of Nations is enjoyed by many people far and beyond the continent of Africa
Rare moments with the legend David Becham. What a smile. So infectious! Seized the opportunity at the FIFA Club World Cup match Monterrey vs Liverpool in Doha, Qatar
AFCON Cameroun 2021 here we come. I can't stop watching the goal that has earned Malawi a coveted seat amongst the champions of Africa. I salute the Miracle Working God for He works in mysterious ways
Congratulations Alastair for a double celebration as you become Headboy of St Andrews on your 18th Birthday. You are the chosen leader of this generation at Saints. Keep pursuing your dreams of greatness and excellence. Proud of you my Son. Happy Birthday as you come of age 💫
It was a privilege attending my first meeting of the FIFA Council in Kigali. A historic moment as I was inaugurated with a FIFA pin by President Gianni Infantino. Great session today with high level of debate amongst members. I am honoured to officially join the FIFA elite club
You win some, you lose some. This is part of life and useful lessons for forging ahead. I am still counting my blessings because I am fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalms 139:14). Glory be to God forever and ever.
A warm embrace with a warrior, Richard Mbulu, the scorer of the only goal. A legend in his own right. It was all sweat and blood at Kamuzu Stadium. The players died for their country. They deserve better. We should reward them by all means
Gaba deserves goal of the tournament at AFCON, Cameroun 2021. Show your admiration and patriotism by by voting now using the link below. Your vote counts 💥
I was told the Dump Yard is a no go zone. I was pleasantry surprised that the people were friendly and not violent. They enjoyed they food, danced and mingled with us freely. I was amazed that they could pray to God as well and sing gospel music. They still have hope. Awesome
The training sessions of the Flames were data driven having recruited a Data Analyst. The long range goal by Gaba was practised after noting that the GK of Morocco had a tendency of carelessly leaving the goalline. There is value in data analytics and Malawi football has to adapt
Bwana
@WNyamilandu
do we do this with the Flames coaching? Detailed analysis of the opponent by Egyptian national team! The goalie had details of how each penalty taker places the shots in the AFCON final. Complete professionalism by coaches
Hossana to the King of Kings, the Prince of Peace, the Mighty Warrior for the Manna given to the Flames. You have answered our prayers today from book of Exodus 16:12
Fast and Furious Football is paying dividends for the Flames at AFCON. Now I can see the other side of the Flames. The beast has been unleashed with explosive dynamites. Beware of the Hustlers, the Macho men. Reloading for the last game of our lives.
When two gentle giants meet. I was privileged to interact with Francis Ngannou, an MMA Champion and Heavyweight Boxer on my recent travels. What a sporting legend!
Once upon a time, I had a rare privilege to dine on the same table with two distinguished personalities that would become State Presidents of the Republic of Malawi. Courtesy of the late President Bingu wa Mutharika who invited the Flames to the State House. Memories forever
Peter Banda is one of the finest talents I have seen in recent times. Cool and calm on the ball with dazzling skills. He is now ready to explode. The best is yet come!
Happy people. Boxing bout challenge accepted as Mr Broken English cracks jokes. It's hard to take him seriously and I hope he will trun up for the fight. He charmed his way as he received a Flames Jersey as a prize in the Motto promotion. Tanna Harawa is indeed a hilarious guy.
Super League players of Malawi are smiling all the way to the bank having received a COVID-19 monthly stipend of MK40,000 each. My heart has just leaped with joy. Sharing is caring ❤ ☺
Kinna Phiri "Electric" and Lawrence Waya "Lule" the legends of Malawi Football. Difficult to say who is the greatest of all times but I am sure Gaba is not far off. I am glad to have witnessed this generation of strikers
Though we are under attack from COVID-19, the Flames are unshaken and undaunted. We have enough back up to deliver us in battle tomorrow. We were prepared for this eventuality. Fear not. We trust in the Lord always for His strength is made perfect in our weakness. "2 Cor 12:9"
50 Golden Years! What an honour and privilege. I am not special. I am deeply indebted to you. I see God's love in you. Glory be to God for His goodness and kindness
I came for the AFCON finals representing my country having played a crucial role in defining the outcome through the Flames. I am closer to the scenes which are action packed here at the magnificent Olembe Stadium. So far Senegal has the upper hand but don't rule out drama.
Top Goal scorer award of the PSL goes to Gaba. Proud of you for raising the Malawi flag. This is just the beginning.The best is yet to come. Congratulations 👏.
I had a rare opportunity to meet up with Onesimus in Mangochi as he warmed up the fans with his hit song Solomoni Solomoni ....He is in a class of his own. Thanks to Unayo Division One sponsorship by Standard Bank.
Congratulations to a multi talented athlete Asimenye Simwaka who is also a football player for Scorchers for breaking the national record of 400m at the Commonwealth Games. You deserve a special recognition for making Malawi shine 🇲🇼
Bingu National Stadium readiness to host the World Cup matches this year is on track. Lots of hard work behind the scenes by Ministry of Sports with great collaboration by FAM and Sports Council. The first match under floodlights is on the horizon in Malawi after a long spell.
Champions are made of steel. They rise fast when they fall down. The Flames showed tremendous character to bounce back and win against the Black Mambas. What a way to rise the occasion. The lads deserve a big pat on the back

#Why
not help us with a winning football philosophy? Just had a fruitful discussion with the Head of FIFA Technical to conduct an assessment of Malawi football with the view to devising a solution that can improve our style of play. Watch this space. The experts are coming
I couldn't miss the opportunity to be at Old Trafford, the Theatre of Dreams. Tough match today against Brighton Albion. Come on, United! It's buzzing already 😬 🙌 😆
Thank you for the Heroes Welcome accorded to the Flames. You made us feel special. We don't take this for granted. The celebration was colourful, memorable and inspirational. Thank for showering praises to the Flames during AFCON 2021, Cameroon. We are deeply indebted to the fans
We call him Iniesta at Walter Nyamilandu Academy. Not surprised that he scored the lone goal for Malawi yesterday against Bostwana. This boy is dynamite. He has magic at his feet. He will definately go places. Congratulations Madalitso Mwachumu 👏👏👏
It's not by power or by might but by the spirit of God that the Flames have come this far. Thank you God for wiping away our tears and for giving us tears of joy. You are forever faithful. What an awesome God we serve. Shalom 🙏 Jeremiah 31:9

, the one and only Gaba Mhango, Courtesy of Qurve Watches. Priceless! Hate him, Love him, Gaba is a national asset. I have seen a few good players like him.
Par excellence. Tabitha is dynamite. She has Raised the Bar by signing for Inter Milan. We have every reason to celebrate. Show them, Teach them and Break the records. We are proud of you 👏
FDH Bank has spoiled the Flames with a brand new Coachline Bus. This is beyond call to duty but a demonstration of passion and patriotism at its best. What a huge motivation for the players. We remain deeply indebted to FDH Bank for their unyielding support towards football.
I have just announced my bid for a last term as the President of FAM on a mission to bridge the gap, having successfully raised the bar. Please join me on this campaign which is geared at unlocking our potential and unleashing our capabilities to be amongst the best in Africa
Joyful moment with my sister, Dr Lucinda Manda Taylor. I am glad we have never lost the connection. She is always buzzing and full of banter. You don't need negative energy around you. I have no time for haters and naysayers 😏
Congratulations Nyasa Bullets for reaching the finals of Kangame CECAFA Cup. We are thrilled with the excellent performance. It just shows that Nyasa Bullets is a force to reckon with in Africa. Keep raising the bar and bring the cup home. 🔥💥💪
Flames Vibe and Swag. Singing right now... "You want to bam bam, you want to chill with the big boys... " The Men in Black. Don't Hate. Malawi 1st #
#KuipatsaMoto
Hail, the Scorchers, our new Heroes. They have broken the jinx by beating Banyana Banyana 2-3. They deserve their rightful place and support in Malawi Football. A very productive young team that is slowly but steadily yielding lots of value. They mean business
#RaisingTheBar
We will be watching our very own son of the soil, Charles Petro of Sheriff Traspol playing in the Champions League. What an inspiration to many players in Malawi. We are extremely proud of his exploits in Europe. His experience will be immense to the Flames. So Malawi has talent
Bravo Scorchers for making history by winning the Cosafa Women's Cup for the first time. They have sent a strong message that the girl chid in Malawi deserves support. I salute their perseverance and hard work. There is nothing like seeing the Malawi flag flying higher.
FIFA has approved USD500,000 for construction of Nsanje Stadium following the devastating effects of Cyclone Idai & Ana. This will make a huge difference to the community that is prone to flooding as we look at constructing a stadium with multi-purpose facilities. FIFA cares!
Sweet victory as Malawi U20 beats South Africa 2-0 at the COSAFA tournament in Eswatini. Promising talent with a solid defence and a gigantic goalkeeper who saved a penalty. Congrats to the lads and Coach Patrick Mabedi for an excellent start.
The message was loud and clear "No retreat no surrender. Let's die for our country, Malawi and give the fans good news. I am extremely proud that the mission has been accomplished in style today as the Flames doused the Black Mambas in the World Cup qualifiers
#RaisingTheBar
Fear no evil. It's time to grab the bull by the horns. The Flames are determined to be the dark horses at AFCON Cameroun 2022. Some trust in chariots, some trust in horses but we trust in the Almighty Living God. He has not taken us this far for nothing.
I was moved by the live performances of Lucius, Lulu and Wezi at the Flames Home Coming Celebration at Amaryllis Hotel. I can't stop singing "Nthawi" by Lucius Banda. We need to explore and exploit the opportunity of Football and Music coming together. There is power in arts
Malawi U17 Girls have broken the record by beating Namibia 12-0 at the Region Five Games taking place in Lilongwe. We celebrate this landmark victory with great optimism about the future. 👏
Scooping three awards in the Chinesee Football League is no mean feat. Congrats Tabitha. You are our shining star and beacon of hope for Women's football in Malawi. We are proud of you. Keep raising the Malawi flag high
Announcing My Man of the Moment - Kondwani Kachamba Ngwira, the Enterprenuer, our homegrown Scientist. You are a genius, a rare breed. You deserve special award. Just follow him on Facebook. Airtel you got your work cut out. Zili Mwa Ife 😘
Gone but forever in our hearts Dad. You remain my Hero for life. I learnt from the best. Your legacy lives on. What a Great Man you were. Rest In Eternal Peace
The Men in Black are sending a strong message of intent that they mean serious business. We are ready to serve the country with pride, honour and dedication to duty come rain or sunshine. We refuse to allow our shortcomings to stand in the way of progress. God bless the Flames
The sky is the limit as far as the Heavens can go. The Flames have brought good news to the nation of Malawi with a priceless victory against Ethiopia. May the Lord finish the good job that he has started to completion (Philippians 1:6). Glory be to God. Hosanna Manna. Shalom
A highly rated young Malawian aged 7 years living in UK has been signed by Liverpool Football Academy after a 6-month trial. Twesa Mwambila was brilliant after helping his former team Vauxhall to beat Liverpool and he scored a hat-trick.
Thank God its a Friday. It's also Flames Friday. Let's be glad and rejoice in it. Say no to negativity. Your problem is an opportunity. Blessed day to all
Signing ceremony with FIFA/UEFA Player Agent, Pelican Sports in Turkey as we endeavour to forge a career pathway of Malawi Players to Europe. All the best to the five players that have been taken for trials.
First class treatment for the Flames. Going to rest, relax and enjoy the comfort of a 5 Star hotel in Khartoum after training. The mind, the body and the soul is ready for the match tomorrow against South Sudan.
No more excuses. Bingu National Stadium is back. It's fit for purpose for both local and international matches. It was a beauty to watch the Lilongwe derby, Silver Strikers vs CIVO being hosted at such a magnificent facility with a good playing surface.
