    Incidents

    [edit]

    In August of 2023, The Football Association of Malawi (FAM) banned the Mzuzu Stadium as well as Civo Stadium of Lilongwe over the poor state of the stadiums' pitch and the bad conditions of the players’ tunnel.[6] The FAM also banned the stadiums due to missing of technical benches and bad condition of the perimeter fence, as well as poor state of dressing rooms, including lack of public address system and poor condition of scoreboard.[7] This was as the result of an inspection carried out by the FAM's Club Licensing department.[6][8][9]
