He disclosed that Chipuku and Division one leagues would kick off on April 16, 2023.

Ajawa said CFRA wants to run the league in conformity of football Association of Malawi (FAM) annual football calendar saying they have asked the mother body to consider shifting the dates of FAM cup so that teams should compete while their finances are ok.

“Apart from that we have K 27 million to be use for FAM Cup. We need to join hands I order to make this league vibrant,” Chair noted. 

He said the committee would look into the issue of play offs and fixing mid week games.
