The Central Region Football Association (CRFA) wants Dr. Walter Nyamilandu Manda to continue serving as Football Association of Malawi (FAM) president.
CRFA has since nominated Nyamilandu Manda for FAM president ahead of an Elective General Meeting slated for December 16 this year in Mzuzu,
CFRA’s chairperson Austin Ajawa confirmed Nyamilandu’s nomination in an interview with Nation Online on Monday.
Workaholic Nyamilandu has been FAM president since 2004, however, has not come out in the open to say whether he would seek re-election ahead of the polls.
Again, current statutes allow Dr. Nyamilandu Manda to contest for the post despite serving for close to 20 years.
In a related development, On Sunday Super League of Malawi President Fleetwood Haiya declared his strong interest to contest for the FAM Presidency.
Haiya announced this in Mzuzu at a press briefing that was also attended by Northern Region Football Association officials and other affiliates.
Haiya said he is determined to take the country’s football to greater heights as he is going to offer a leadership that is dedicated, hardworking, transparent and accountable.
He further said he has declared his interest in accepting nominations from several associations ahead of FAM Elections.
During the presser, the Northern Region Football Association through its Secretary General, nominated Haiya to become the next FAM President.
FAM is the governing body controlling the sport of football in the central African country of Malawi. The Association is affiliated to the Confederation of African Football, FIFA and COSAFA.
