…FIFA statutes do not permit tobacco sponsorships

The joy in the camp of probable Super League champions, Big Bullets Football Club, might be short-lived if the reports that Malawi24 has are anything to go by.

Late last night, Malawi24 broke the news that the peoples’ team has secured a K0.5 billion sponsorship from Nyasa Manufacturing Company which deals with tobacco.

According to the deal, it is expected that Nyasa will fund the team to a tune of K100 million per year for a contract of five years. This would make Bullets FC the highest earning team in the land, overtaking Mighty Wanderers which clinched a deal with a Japanese car dealer.

However, the sponsorship has come under fire over its violation of the FIFA regulations that bar tobacco companies from investing in football.

Information that Malawi24 has indicates that FIFA stops its affiliates from taking anything that has to do with tobacco, strong alcoholic drinks, sexism among other things. This places Bullets in the way of FIFA firing as it is taking money from a company that deals with cigarettes.

“It is illegal to do that and it might attract serious repercussions,” said a source at FAM who spoke on the condition that we do not reveal his details.

The source said that involving cigarette manufacturing companies directly contravenes the FIFA anti-smoking lobby and it is, therefore, not acceptable.

However, the source said Bullets will not be in the firing line of FIFA as it had cleared its way ahead.

“The only good thing about this deal is that we consulted FIFA and pleaded our case before the sealing of the deal, it is not as if we were unaware of the demands of FIFA. We talked to FIFA and they gave us a go ahead, so Bullets fans should not panic at the news,” said the source from FAM.

Malawi24 has been tipped that rival fans of Bullets are contemplating writing FIFA to alert them of the anomaly and have Bullets punished.

  121. One wonders why these sentiments never arose along Calsberg has been sponsoring football. How come these sentiments never arose all along Castle Larger has been funding COSAFA? Strange remarks…

  123. Malawians, when will we stop this spirit of envy? The chair has already said that they contacted Fifa through FAM (Walter Nyamilandu) on some advice and we’re given a go ahead, what else do you want?

  125. Im a Bullets fan, but this is true unless some amendments hv been made. BAT Malawi dropped its Embassy Trophy after put restriction on cigarrette advertisement, sponsorship, prommotion. Thats why BAT ground was surrendered bcz the entity had nothing to do with football. Mwina poti Sepp & Walter akuchoka.

  139. Ine ndine wa Nyerere,koma ndati ndinenepo pa zabodza zomwe mtolankhani wa Malawi 24 wanena.Bwanji mufuna kuletsa zithandizo za abale athu a BB? Watola kuti nkhani imeneyi? Ndalama sizanu osamatero ayi. Ife tikuwafunira a BB zabwino zonse m’mene apeza thanizoli.

  143. kod heineken or black label are these soft drinks? Why Fifa simaletsa these guys kupanga sponsor mpira? Journalist walemba nkhan iy waonesaratu kt mkalas anabwera chabe. In short ths page is coming more less like a s***t

  169. Ili ndi bodza, olembayu is trying to instigate mkwiyo wa anthu. Mu africa muno simuli castle lager, ndi uja wa ku west africa uja? Ku england liverpool was sponsored by carlsberg, champions league is being sponsored by heineken. Aletsa liti???? Fotseki!!! Demeti!!! Mxiiiiiii

    1. Mowa it’s fine but tobacco ndiamene amalesedwa there anti smoking global campaign osamangosusa mulibe data

  170. Ndikudziwa kuti pa Kanyimbi wina yemwe akufuna kuti BB izibvutikabe. Mumafuna sponsorship ilkhale ya team yanu eti? A bwamphini inu munakhala bwanji dumbo ndi team ya anzanu? Dere pamenepa mwayamba kale manong’o nong’o ofuna kulepheretsa sponsorship’yi. Koma ndithu a Kanyimbi onyera pamodzi modzi basi.

  172. Please dont post rumours in the name of news. Do thorough research before posting. Dont rely on our comments as your research!

  178. I guess the owner of malawi24 is not a malawian coz most of the times u transform good news into bad. This story is indeed fake

  182. kodi LIMBE leaf ija imapanga zamitsuko momwe imathandiza WANDRAS muja?bwanji mumadana ndi BULLETS?muzitenge bwinotu wina aona polee,titamutapa nkhwiko

  184. according to the reports the involved parties checked with FIFA before confirming the deal..perhaps there z more to t that somehow beats the FIFA statues.

    2. haha..,apapa talayiza…ghetto yuthi wavutika kwa thawi yaitali..wont even complain if greatest of villains comes to save us from this misery

  187. FIFA officialz ask Fam president about Sam Chilunga zokhuza spossorship imenei koma Malawi 24 eeee 2much opposing ndizampira zomwe

  191. This is new FIFA rule to ban all tobacco related companies from sponsoring any sporting activity… Those who follow soccer will not argue or dispute with this rule…….

  192. Am a nyerere fan,bt statement yi munsi mwake ikuti even alcoholic drinks producerz, a fifa amawalesa kupanga sponsor mpira,wic means its a total lie,ku RSA kuli black label,uefa amapanga sponsor ndi a heineken,carlsberg cup,nde wina aziti opanga ndudu! Thats fake!!

  193. Close that door and i believe God will open another door. God is not a person or Water Nyamilandu. If God say yes know one can say no

  208. this story lacks sense somehow. how can the same official talk of the negative and later point out a positive hahahha. if the issue was sorted out with FIFA then why is the same official saying bullets might lose sponsorship

  210. In your first article u said that Nyamilandu was there during the signing of the contract, you want to tell us that Nyamilandu is a failure, he does not know FiFA rules? Heeeee! Ndie mwatinso fan rivals to bullets are writing to FIFA to punish Bullets, ndizoonadi kuti he who try to pull you down iz below you. Muona Pooooooly #Bullets_for_life u

  215. Ngati ndi chocho then Arsenal will also lose their sponsorship. No wonder, the gun is very harmful than tobaco. Enanu mumapembeza azungu tu!

    2. Mbuzi ya munthu, sponsor wa Arsenal. A Gun is a Logo even Westham United pali ma hamala thats why thy are called The Hammers

    3. Chowasangalatsa nchani kuika mfut ngat logo wen dey dnt deal wth it,moti simudziwa kut ndi company yopanga mfut? Kapena sitidziwa ndiifeyo?

  223. this fake,limbe leaf wanderers nw bef4ward was once sponsered by limbe leaf,was fifa nt there?tisiyeni pangani zanu za milanduzo asakunjateni.

  229. Yet they allow companies associated with beer. What rubbish is that ? No wonder Blatter and company were engaged in corruption

  231. zimenezo ndie zachamba ndikudziwa nyamilandu ndamene wayambitsa

  233. I thought fifa aproved the deal according to nyasatimes kodi ife ndiye timve ziti?deal or no dael chifukwa nebatu akunvetsa chisoni kwambiri

    3. that was when there was no anti smoking global campaign! get a life man bwanji simuzitsata? ndiye tikamati kuli mbu…… nkumasutsa?!?

    9. Mpaka ndi a #Martin_Kameni a ku TTC omwewa adziwe zoti kumakhala mbuli? Zomvetsa chisoni ndithu. Anthu ndi ma graduate a ku university koma sakwanitsa kunena ena umbuli. Anti-smoking sidayambe lero unless we talk about altered rules. All in all, Sam Chilunga had to consult fifa on the same anti-smoking before signing the deal. Fufuzani bwinobwino pa nkhaniyi koma ine sinditha kunyoza munthu. Ngati muli ndi nfundo kungonena ngati mmene anenera ena osati zoyalutsanazo.

  237. Izo neba pepa wandalazi yakuchitila nsanje komabe ine ndili mbuyo mwako akupase sponsor basi! Lero tikugagada pastadium 3zero
