BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Mighty Wanderers Football Club have finally brought an end to their eight-year wait for the TNM Super League title, sealing championship glory in emphatic fashion.
The Nomads secured the league crown with a game to spare following a ruthless 6-0 demolition of Moyale Barracks at Kamuzu Stadium in Blantyre.
The commanding victory not only underlined Wanderers’ dominance this season but also sent a clear message about their resurgence as one of Malawi’s football powerhouses.
Club president Thomson Mpinganjira has showered praise on the team for their resilience, discipline, and commitment throughout the campaign.
Mpinganjira described the triumph as a special moment for the club, the players, and the supporters who have waited patiently for success.
“Well done to the boys,” said Mpinganjira, expressing his pride and satisfaction with the squad’s achievement.
He added that the title could not have come at a better time, calling it a timely Christmas gift to the entire Nomads family.
The business mogul and philanthropist, who is also the club’s main sponsor, noted that the championship had been a long time coming.
According to Mpinganjira, the manner in which the title was won made it even more special for the club and its supporters.
He emphasized that winning the league in such grand style reflected the hard work put in by the players, technical panel, and management.
With the latest victory, Mighty Wanderers have now accumulated 68 points from 29 league matches this season.
Their tally places them five points clear of their closest rivals, FCB Nyasa Big Bullets, effectively putting the title beyond reach.
Bullets’ hopes of closing the gap were dented after they were held to a goalless draw by Mighty Tigers in their latest fixture.
The draw proved costly for Bullets and confirmed Wanderers as champions before the final round of matches.
Attention now turns to the final league fixture, where Wanderers will host Kamuzu Barracks next weekend.
That match will serve as a celebratory occasion, as the Nomads are set to be officially crowned TNM Super
League champions. For Mighty Wanderers supporters, the title marks the end of years of frustration and near misses.
For the club, it signals a return to the summit of Malawian football and a renewed sense of belief for the future.
The triumph is expected to further strengthen the bond between the team, its leadership, and its loyal fan base as celebrations begin across the Nomads family.

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Ekhaya FC head coach Enos Chatama has expressed confidence in his side’s future despite suffering a 2–0 defeat to FCB Nyasa Big Bullets on Sunday afternoon in Blantyre.
The loss marked Ekhaya’s third consecutive defeat, but the coach insists the struggles are part of a learning process that will make the team stronger next season.
Speaking after the match, Chatama admitted that results have not gone his team’s way in recent outings. However, he maintained that the technical panel has already identified key areas that need improvement and believes the team will return “more dangerous” once those problems are addressed ahead of the next campaign.
The match, played at Mpira Stadium, saw Bullets start on the front foot, immediately setting the tempo with quick ball circulation and high pressing.
Ekhaya were forced to defend deep in the opening minutes as the hosts pushed numbers forward, stretching their defensive line in search of an early breakthrough.
Bullets’ persistence paid off in the 31st minute when substitute Maxwell Phodo, who had just come on for Mike Mkwate, found the back of the net. Phodo calmly finished after receiving a well weighted pass from Chikumbutso Salima, giving the hosts a deserved 1–0 lead.
Just before the halftime whistle, Bullets doubled their advantage. Ephraim Kondowe scored a fine goal in stoppage time after being set up by Phodo, capping off a dominant first-half display by the home side and sending them into the break with a comfortable 2–0 cushion.
Ekhaya attempted to regroup in the second half, while Bullets made tactical changes, including the introduction of Babatunde Adebouje in the 58th minute.
Ekhaya also responded with a series of substitutions, bringing in Kester Simbi, Vincent Salawila and later Clever Chikwata in an effort to inject fresh energy into the game.
Despite the changes, Ekhaya struggled to break down a well-organised Bullets defence. The hosts managed the game professionally, limiting Ekhaya’s chances and maintaining control as the clock ran down.
After three minutes of added time, the referee brought the match to an end with Bullets securing a solid 2–0 victory. The win further underlined their authority, while Ekhaya were left to reflect on another tough afternoon.
Maxwell Gastin Phodo was named Man of the Match for his decisive impact off the bench, contributing a goal and an assist. For Ekhaya and coach Enos Chatama, the focus now shifts to rebuilding with optimism firmly placed on a stronger and more competitive return next season.
Bullets remain on position two with 62 points from 28 matches while Ekhaya Fc stay on position 7 with 39 points from the same number of matches.

CHITIPA-(MaraviPost)-Mzuzu City Hammers head coach Elias Chirambo has reiterated that his side’s main target is to win their remaining two league matches in order to escape relegation, following a hard-fought 2–2 draw against Chitipa United at Chitipa Stadium on Saturday.
Chirambo made the remarks after watching his team surrender a lead twice in a tense and physical encounter that underlined the pressure facing clubs at both ends of the table.
Going into the match, Hammers were desperate for maximum points as they continue to battle near the relegation zone.
The match began at a high tempo with both teams committing strongly into challenges, forcing medical staff to attend to players early on.
Despite the physical nature of the contest, Mzuzu City Hammers struck first in the ninth minute when Samson Olatubosun calmly finished to give the visitors a 1–0 advantage.
Tempers flared midway through the first half as fouls disrupted the flow of the game but Hammers managed to protect their narrow lead going into the break.
At half-time, the visitors looked on course for a crucial away victory that would have boosted their survival hopes.
However, Chitipa United emerged stronger in the second half and were rewarded in the 67th minute when Mally Kasongo produced a fine finish to level the scores.
Just five minutes later, Kasongo completed his brace with a well-taken header, completing a remarkable turnaround for the hosts.
As the match entered the closing stages, Chitipa were forced into a goalkeeping change after Jacob Anyambwire sustained an injury with Kennedy Nakhaima coming on in his place.
Nine minutes of added time were announced, giving Hammers renewed belief.
That belief paid off in the 90+2nd minute when substitute Alex Orotomal made an instant impact, scoring a dramatic equaliser to rescue a point for the visitors.
The match ended 2–2, with Kasongo later voted Man of the Match for his influential performance.
After the game, Chitipa United coach Kondwa Ikwanga described the encounter as one of the toughest matches his side has played, noting that Mzuzu City Hammers were highly motivated by their desire to escape relegation.
Mzuzu City Hammers remain 15th on the table with 28 points from 28 matches while Chitipa United sit ninth with 37 points from 29 games.

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-The 2025 TNM Super League season has delivered a spectacle of thrilling football, showcasing the grit, skill, and determination of Malawi’s top clubs.
As the dust settles on this fiercely contested campaign, one thing is clear: the Mighty Wanderers are the team to beat, but the battle for supremacy remains intense with FCB Nyasa Big Bullets and Silver Strikers FC hot on their heels.
Mighty Wanderers have stamped their authority on the league, finishing with an impressive 62 points.
Their relentless attacking prowess is matched only by a rock-solid defense that conceded a mere 12 goals all season — the best defensive record in the league. This formidable balance between attack and defense is the cornerstone of their success.
Scoring 42 goals, they have proven that winning football is about more than just finding the net; it’s about controlling the game and shutting down opponents at every turn.
Right behind them, the FCB Nyasa Big Bullets have blazed a trail of their own.
Despite scoring the highest number of goals in the league — a staggering 54 — they fell just short of the summit, collecting 59 points.
The Bullets’ attacking line-up has been a constant threat, ripping apart defenses with an average of nearly two goals per game.
However, their Achilles’ heel has been their defense, conceding 20 goals and suffering six losses, which ultimately cost them vital points in the title chase.
The Bullets’ campaign has been a rollercoaster of dazzling attacking flair punctuated by rare but costly defensive lapses.
Silver Strikers FC, the perennial contenders, secured third place with 56 points.
Their season was marked by a blend of tactical discipline and attacking tenacity, netting 44 goals and conceding 16.
With only two losses, Silver Strikers displayed resilience but lacked the extra edge to usurp the dominant duo above them.
Their campaign was a masterclass in consistency, but in the fierce TNM Super League, consistency alone is not enough to clinch the crown.
Looking deeper into the league standings, Karonga United and Ekhaya FC have been the surprise packages, both racking up 40+ points.
Karonga United scored 28 goals and conceded 25, while Ekhaya FC found the back of the net 32 times but let in 22 goals.
Their solid performances have injected fresh excitement into the league, proving that the TNM Super League is not just a two or three-horse race but a vibrant competition where any team can challenge on their day.
Blue Eagles FC and Civil Service United, both with 41 points, have had respectable campaigns.
The Eagles scored 34 goals but conceded 28, showing flashes of brilliance tempered by defensive vulnerabilities.
Civil Service United, scoring 32 and conceding 19, demonstrated a well-rounded approach but lacked the finishing touch to climb higher up the standings.
Kamuzu Barracks and Moyale Barracks, stalwarts of the league, have had mixed fortunes.
Kamuzu Barracks netted 29 goals but conceded 33, finishing with 38 points. Moyale Barracks, despite scoring 26, conceded a hefty 34 goals and ended with 36 points.
Their campaigns were defined by moments of promise undone by defensive frailties.
The mid-table battle was fierce, with teams like Chitipa United, Creck Sporting Club, MAFCO FC, and Dedza Dynamos all grinding out points in a league where every victory counts.
Chitipa United and Moyale Barracks both amassed 36 points, while Creck Sporting Club and MAFCO FC finished with 33 and 31 points respectively.
Dedza Dynamos matched MAFCO with 31 points but conceded 32 goals, highlighting the need for defensive tightening in future campaigns.
Mighty Tigers and Mzuzu City Hammers struggled to find consistent form.
The Tigers managed only 26 points despite scoring 21 goals, conceding 32 in return.
Mzuzu City Hammers, on the other hand, had a tough season, scoring 24 but conceding a league-high 40 goals, finishing with just 27 points.
Their campaigns illustrate the brutal nature of the TNM Super League where defensive solidity is as crucial as offensive firepower.
At the bottom of the table, Songwe Border United faced a harsh reality.
With only nine goals scored and a staggering 70 goals conceded, their solitary win and 24 losses epitomize a season to forget.
Their struggles underscore the challenge of competing in a league packed with quality and competitiveness.
What stands out this season is the striking contrast between offensive firepower and defensive resilience.
Teams like Bullets and Wanderers have shown that while scoring goals wins matches, it’s minimizing concessions that wins championships.
The Wanderers’ near-impenetrable defense and tactical discipline have been their greatest assets, while the Bullets’ relentless attacking style has thrilled fans but exposed occasional defensive weaknesses.
The TNM Super League continues to grow in stature, with rising talents and seasoned veterans delivering captivating football week in, week out.
The league’s competitive balance ensures that no team can afford complacency, making every game a high-stakes encounter filled with drama and excitement.
As the 2025 season concludes, the focus shifts to the off-season, where clubs will look to strengthen their squads and address weaknesses.
Will the Mighty Wanderers maintain their iron grip on the title? Can the Bullets sharpen their defense to reclaim the crown? Or will the Silver Strikers find that elusive spark to overturn the established order?
One thing is certain — the TNM Super League remains Malawi’s premier football battleground, where passion, skill, and determination collide to create unforgettable moments.
Fans can already start counting down the days to the next season, eager to witness more spectacular goals, nail-biting finishes, and the relentless pursuit of glory.
In the meantime, the 2025 TNM Super League will be remembered as a season of fierce competition, remarkable individual and team performances, and the unyielding spirit of Malawian football.
The battle for supremacy continues, and the beautiful game in Malawi shines brighter than ever.

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Mighty Wanderers eased mounting pressure in the TNM Super League title race with a composed 2-0 win over Karonga United at Kamuzu Stadium, on Thursday a result that coach Bob Mpinganjira says has restored calm and belief within the squad as the season reaches its tense climax.
Coming into the match with rivals FCB Nyasa Big Bullets and Silver Strikers breathing down their necks, the Nomads stepped onto the pitch fully aware that anything less than victory would jeopardise their top position but instead of showing nerves, they delivered a performance that reassured their supporters and underlined their championship ambitions.
From the first whistle, Wanderers took control, pressing high and forcing Karonga United to retreat. Their early intent created immediate danger and after only ten minutes, Isaac Kaliati picked out Promise Kamwendo, who slotted home the opener to send the stadium into celebration.
The pressure didn’t stop there. In the 29th minute, Gaddie Chirwa unleashed a powerful strike from outside the penalty area, extending the lead and tightening Wanderers’ grip on the match as they went into halftime with a comfortable 2-0 advantage.
But while Wanderers dominated the first half, the second half presented new challenges, including a waterlogged pitch that disrupted the flow of play.
Karonga United showed improved determination with their closest chance coming in the 54th minute when they hit the crossbar, offering a glimpse of what could have been.
After the match, Karonga United head coach Oscar Kaunda accepted the defeat, acknowledging that the early mistakes his side made had cost them.
He admitted they were slow to settle and said his technical panel would review those errors to ensure the team improves in their upcoming fixtures.
Kaunda, however, praised his players for their stronger second half showing despite the tough conditions.
The victory now moves Wanderers to 62 points from 27 games three ahead of FCB Nyasa Big Bullets and six clear of Silver Strikers.
For Mpinganjira, the win not only strengthens their position at the summit but also reinforces the team’s sense of purpose as they target their first league title in eight years.
“We are not looking over our shoulders. The team understands what this moment means,” he said.
Man of the Match Promise Kamwendo delivered a standout performance, leading Wanderers’ attack with maturity and helping to guide his side through a potentially tricky fixture.

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Charles “Grandmaster” Nyirenda, one of Malawi’s respected sports analysts, has expressed deep concern over the congested fixture handed to Silver Strikers, who are expected to play six league matches within just 13 days.
He says the situation raises serious questions about player welfare and the overall integrity of the competition.
Nyirenda noted that the tight schedule stems from Super League of Malawi’s (SULOM) decision to ensure that the 2025 season concludes by December 20.
However, he believes the push to finish the league should not come at the expense of the players’ health.
In his remarks, Nyirenda said it is “unacceptable and unsafe” for a team to be forced into such an intense run of fixtures within a short time frame.
He stressed that footballers need adequate rest in between matches to recover physically and mentally.
He further argued that fixture planning must prioritise fair competition and professionalism.
Forcing Silver Strikers to complete six matches in less than two weeks, he added, does not reflect good administrative practice.
Nyirenda was particularly critical of SULOM’s handling of the league calendar, accusing the body of making decisions that appear rushed and poorly thought out.
He warned that such congestion increases the risk of injuries, fatigue and underperformance, which could ultimately weaken the quality of football displayed on the pitch.
According to him, the league should aim to protect players, not expose them to avoidable harm.
Supporting Nyirenda’s sentiments, football commentator Ibrahim Phiri also voiced concern.
He reminded the public that SULOM originally allocated only one match per week for each team, making the sudden increase to six matches in 13 days completely unreasonable.
Phiri said the schedule contradicts the league’s own planning principles and puts Silver Strikers at a clear disadvantage compared to other clubs whose fixtures are less demanding.
He suggested that better planning could have prevented this situation.
He emphasised that consistency and fairness are fundamental in football administration.
Deviations of this nature he said, create confusion and raise questions regarding unequal treatment of teams.
Meanwhile, Silver Strikers currently sit third on the TNM Super League table with 50 points from 24 matches.
Despite the pressure, the team remains one of the strongest contenders as they continue to defend their position.
