Speaking to Malawi news agency (Mana) the deputy president for Football association of Malawi James Kamwendo said FAM has embarked on an exercise to train sports masters in schools and those in clubs so that they are well qualified and have a coaching license.

“As FAM from now onwards we will only entertain coaches that are qualified because we want to issue quality of football in clubs here in Malawi,” Said Kumwenda.

He added that the 70 participants that are being trained in CAF C license will make a total of 100 coaches with CAF C as the country right now has  27 coaches with CAF A license and 66 CAF B and 20 CAF  C.

Kumwenda was very thankful to Malawi sports association for the financial support that they have given towards this exercise.
