The Football Association of Malawi (FAM) has terminated the contract of Patrick Mabedi as head coach of the Malawi National Football Team.

This decision follows a meeting on October 28, prompted by the team’s failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

FAM will appoint a temporary technical panel to lead the Flames in their remaining qualifiers against Burundi and Burkina Faso.

The association expressed gratitude for Mabedi’s contributions and reassured stakeholders of its commitment to maintaining continuity as they seek a permanent replacement.

FAM encourages fans to continue supporting the national team during this transition.
