CAF African Schools Football Championship: Team Profile - Malawi (Girls)

Malawi hosted the inaugural COSAFA qualifiers for the CAF African Schools Football Championship in the 2022-23 season and were represented by Malindi Secondary. They, however, finished third after an administrative error saw them lose three points in two matches.Malawi secured two wins and two draws in the pool stages of the 2023-24 qualifiers in Zimbabwe, but it was still not enough to earn a place in the knockout rounds.  

It meant they did not qualify for the continental finals that were staged in Zanzibar. 

But the team bounced back to make the final of the 2024-25 COSAFA qualifiers in Walvis Bay, Namibia, where they lost 3-1 to champions South Africa in the decider.

They finished top of their group and then defeated Zimbabwe 2-1 in the semifinals, before losing out to South Africa in the final.

However, as the latter qualified for the continental finals as holders, Malawi were given the berth for the qualified team from COSAFA, so make a return to the grand African stage.

They will therefore debut in Ghana and have high hopes of going deep into the competition with their talented group of players.
