Bullets fined!

The Football Association of Malawi (FAM) has fined Nyasa Big Bullets after one of its fans invaded the pitch and tampered with water bottles belonging to Silver Strikers while the teams were in action  at Kamuzu Stadium in the Fisd Challenge Cup on 26th October 2016, Malawi24 can confirm.

The FA in a statement which Malawi24 has seen as signed by General Secretary Suzgo Nyirenda says the conduct by the fan identified as Yusuf Julius was unsporting and showed the Blantyre based side failed to control its own supporters.

Julius has since been banned from attending all official football matches organized by FAM and all its affiliates for four years.

Bullets will have to pay a fine of K500, 000.00. before their next footballing assignment.
