Malawi’s Under-20 National Football Team Coach Bob Mpinganjira has named a 30-man provisional squad for the AFCON Under 20 Cosafa Qualifier to be staged in Mozambique later this month.
Mpinganjira has retained the core of players who led the junior Flames to victory in the Four Nations Under-20 tournament earlier this year.
About 16 players return from the March competition, ready to bring their experience to the upcoming tournament.
The team is scheduled to report for camp on Monday, September 9, 2024, at the Mpira Village in Blantyre.
Malawi has been placed in Group C alongside South Africa, Comoros, and Lesotho.
The tournament is set to take place in Maputo from September 26 to October 5, with the top two teams advancing to the continental finals next year.
The Football Association of Malawi has also kept faith in the coaching staff, retaining the panel that guided the team to their recent triumph.
