The Football Association of Malawi (FAM) has blamed Malawi police for failing to stop people who were jumping over the stadium fence to watch the Chifundo Shield Cup game for free.

According to FAM, the officers deployed at CIVO stadium seemed to be enjoying the game such that they failed to carry out their core duties. Reports sourced by this publication also reveals that some people forged the tickets which they were selling in cars at the stadium.

FAM’s Commercial Director Limbani Matola said the police officers assigned at the football games failed to bring sanity.

“When I was moving around the stadium I saw people jumping over the fence around while the police officers were there just watching at those people, I even told the police officer who was that side that I need those people arrested but after the game no one has been arrested,” said Matola.

Matola further said that FAM has since appealed to Malawi police officials to take action over the matter.

The Chifundo Shield Cup was organised by Malawi Blood Transfusion Service and FAM to mobilise soccer lovers to donate blood. Bullets won the game 2-0 through goals from Muhammad Sulumba and Chiukepo Msowoya.
