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)-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.

Capital One

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.

Kamwendo header gives Wanderers slim win over Ekhaya

Airtel Malawi

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Mighty Wanderers’ persistence paid off on Sunday afternoon as they battled to a narrow yet deserved 1-0 victory over Ekhaya FC in a tightly-contested TNM Super League match at Kamuzu Stadium in Blantyre.

The long-postponed fixture previously halted by October adjustments and a rain-induced abandonment on November 5,2025, came with its own emotional weight.

Capital One

The history seemed to shape the early tempo with both teams opting to stabilise rather than surge.

The Nomads appeared determined to avoid early mistakes.

The team kept shape compact, recycling possession and carefully probing Ekhaya’s defensive set-up.

The visitors matched that approach, turning the opening minutes into a tug-of-war for midfield control rather than a contest of chances. It was a battle of tactical accuracy instead of flair.

Ekhaya’s first setback came in the 35th minute when Saviel was forced off due to injury, prompting an early appearance by Clever.

Despite this, Ekhaya maintained discipline, frustrating Wanderers with well-timed interceptions and a robust defensive line.

The score remained 0-0 at halftime a fair reflection of a cagey opening 45 minutes.

But Wanderers’ changes early in the second half would prove decisive.

The introduction of Wisdom Mpinganjira and Blessings Mwalilino injected urgency and sharper movement into their attack. Suddenly, Wanderers found an extra gear.

The breakthrough arrived in the 59th minute a moment crafted with precision.

Man of the Match Daniel Kudonto delivered a beautifully curved corner kick and Promise Kamwendo rose above the pack to nod home the opener.

The goal was as much a reward for Wanderers’ persistence as it was a moment of exceptional execution.

That single strike altered the rhythm of the match. Wanderers shifted into a more controlled mode, protecting their lead with composure, while Ekhaya intensified their hunt for an equaliser.

To the team’s credit, Ekhaya ventured forward with purpose after bringing on Lovemore Mbeta in the 83rd minute but every attempt crashed against the well- organised Nomads defence.

For Wanderers, the win strengthens their bid for consistency in a season where every point matters.

For Ekhaya, despite the loss, their structured approach and determination suggest that they remain capable of troubling any side in the league.

Wanderers remain on position two with 59 points from 26 matches while Ekhaya stay on position six with 39 points fromtl the same number of matches

Airtel Malawi

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-The 2025 FDH Bank Cup final between Silver Strikers and Mighty Wanderers has generated a total revenue of K112 million, according to figures released by the Football Association of Malawi.

Although the figure falls short of the record-breaking K216 million realized during the Airtel Top 8 final earlier this year, which featured Silver Strikers against FCB Nyasa Big Bullets, it’s still a significant amount that highlights the growing commercial appeal of domestic football competitions in Malawi.

Capital One

The final, played yesterday at the Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe, saw Silver Strikers emerge victorious after beating Mighty Wanderers 5-4 on post-match penalties following a 1-1 draw in regulation time.

The win will further boost the Central Bankers’ coffers with a K45 million winners’ prize, in addition to the over K22 million they pocketed from gate collections.

Mighty Wanderers, on the other hand, took home over K22 million from the gate collections, a significant boost to their financial position as the season winds down.

The revenue generated from the final is a testament to the growing popularity and commercial viability of the FDH Bank Cup.

The competition has not only brought excitement to football fans but also provided a platform for clubs to raise much-needed funds to support their operations.

With the increasing financial stakes, clubs are likely to benefit from improved infrastructure, player welfare, and talent development, both locally and internationally.

Silver Strikers’ triumph in the final will undoubtedly spur them on to greater heights, while Mighty Wanderers will be looking to regroup and bounce back stronger in their next outing.
