LAGOS-(MaraviPost)-Nigeria head coach Eric Chelle has revealed the reason behind the heated confrontation between him and the DR Congo technical staff at the end of the World Cup playoff final.
Speaking after the match, Chelle explained that tensions escalated due to what he described as suspicious actions by a member of the DR Congo camp during the penalty decisions.
According to him, the individual repeatedly performed actions he considered unusual.
“During all the penalty decisions, the guy from Congo was doing some voodoo… every time,” Chelle said. “That is why I reacted the way I did.”
When asked to clarify what he observed, the coach said the man appeared to be throwing some kind of liquid while making gestures.
“I don’t know what to call it. He was throwing something like water or something,” Chelle added, raising his hand in demonstration.
The incident contributed to the brief confrontation on the touchline before officials intervened to restore calm.

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-The Football Association of Malawi (FAM) has announced the postponement of the much-anticipated NBM Women’s Premiership match between Silver Strikers Ladies and MDF Lionesses, which was scheduled to take place on Sunday at Silver Stadium in Lilongwe.
According to FAM, the decision was made after match officials inspected the pitch and found it unplayable due to excessive waterlogging caused by heavy rains earlier in the day.
The association said the safety of players and officials could not be guaranteed under the conditions.
Spectators who had already gathered at the venue were left disappointed as the pitch continued to hold large pools of water, making ball movement and footing nearly impossible.
Match stewards and ground staff made several attempts to clear the water but the continuous downpour made the situation worse.
Both Silver Strikers Ladies and MDF Lionesses had already completed their warm-ups when the match was halted.
Coaches from both camps agreed with the decision, noting that playing under such conditions would increase the risk of injuries.
The clash between the two sides has been one of the most talked-about fixtures of the current season. Silver Strikers Ladies, who have been in impressive form, were aiming to extend their unbeaten run, while MDF Lionesses hoped to bounce back from recent mixed results.
The postponement means both teams now have additional time to revise their game plans and recover key players ahead of the rescheduled tie.
FAM has confirmed that the match will now take place on Monday, 17 November, at the same venue Silver Stadium with kickoff set for 14:00 hours. Supporters have been encouraged to return on the new date in large numbers.

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Malawi’s football fans have been left disappointed after Scorchers forwards Temwa Chawinga and her elder sister Tabitha missed out on the final three nominees for the 2025 CAF Women’s Player of the Year Award.
The Chawinga sisters had been among the early favourites following another outstanding year for both club and country.
Temwa enjoyed an impressive run with in America finishing the season as one of the league’s top scorers, while Tabitha continued her dominant performances in France.
Despite their strong credentials, CAF released the final shortlist on Sunday confirming that neither of the Malawian stars made the cut.
The announcement has sparked debate among Malawians supporters and analysts who believe at least one of the sisters deserved a place in the top three given their consistency, influence and international track record.
Football Enock Banda say Temwa’s speed, scoring rate and impact in global competitions had placed her among the continent’s best attacking talents.
Tabitha, on the other hand, has long been a household name in African women’s football, praised for her versatility, leadership and goal contributions both in France and for the Scorchers.
Local supporters have also taken to social media to encourage the duo, reminding them that missing the top three does not take away their achievements or reduce their influence in African football.
Many expressed hope that the sisters will come back even stronger in 2026, especially as Malawi continues to build a competitive women’s national team.

LUSAKA-(MaraviPost)-Malawi’s bodybuilding scene received a boost as Christopher Mwakabanga claimed the gold medal in the Junior category at the World Fitness Federation (WFF) Africa Championship in Lusaka, Zambia.
Mwakabanga’s impressive performance earned him top spot, while Bruce John secured fourth place in the Men’s Physique Category among 20 athletes.
According to Aaron Simwaka, General Secretary of the Bodybuilding and Fitness Association of Malawi (BFAM), the competition provided valuable exposure for Malawian athletes on the international stage.
“Both athletes performed impressively, and the exposure they gained competing against Africa’s best will greatly enhance their development,” Simwaka said.
The event also featured a guest posing routine by Zacheus Phiri, former WFF African Championship winner and newly inaugurated President of WFF Malawi, who energized the crowd with his performance.

That includes ABC and ESPN. But the good news is that the vast majority of the NFL’s weekly games are broadcast on network television.
Even if you can’t get ABC through YouTube TV, you can still stream the channel for free.
Now, we’ll tell you where you can watch all of Sunday’s football games without YouTube TV. The only games you may have to pay for are on the NFL+ streaming service or ESPN.
It depends on how dedicated you are to the NFL. This is the way to stream the NFL Network, which usually broadcasts at least one live game per week. It also has ad-free highlights and access to NFL Films’ library of documentaries. Standard access is $6.99, while NFL+ Premium is $14.99 and includes access to NFL Red Zone.
Yes. ESPN is still the juggernaut of cable and streaming sports channels, and it’s included on most of the primary live TV options outside of YouTube TV.
Where Can I Watch ESPN for Free?
For hardcore sports fans, fuboTV may be your best option. It has a free trial that lets you access multiple sports channels, including ESPN, ESPN2 and ACC Network, as well as a complimentary subscription to ESPN Unlimited and a handful of fubo-only sports channels.
Having said that, fuboTV has a very high monthly subscription fee: $84.99. But if you keep the service beyond your free trial, you’ll get the first month of your subscription for $54.99 before the price reverts to its normal rate.
Sling TV is a more affordable option than fuboTV, but ESPN is not included in the standard $46 monthly tier. To get ESPN, ESPN2, and other related channels, you’ll need to upgrade to Sling Orange for an additional $4.99 a month. That’s still cheaper than fuboTV, but not by much.
One thing we can guarantee is that ESPN won’t be pulled from Hulu any time soon, since both are owned by Disney. Hulu offers a live TV subscription for $89.99, which is far from cheap. But it includes ESPN and a subscription to Disney+. New subscribers can get a temporary discounted rate of $64.99 per month, but that will only extend through the first three months of your term.
Of course you can. In fact, that’s almost always your best option if you’re watching games at home. You can still stream the games when you’re out of the house. But for pure comfort, this is the way to go.
