The Super League of Malawi (SULOM) has officially unveiled the fixtures for the highly anticipated 2026/27 FDH Bank Premiership season, setting the stage for another thrilling campaign of top-flight football.
Speaking during a press briefing held on Saturday, SULOM General Secretary Williams Banda, who also chairs the Fixtures and Game Management Committee, emphasized the level of preparedness the release of the fixtures will bring to both clubs and ground owners.
“This is a huge milestone that will give ground owners ample time to plan ahead and minimise game disruptions emanating from unavailability of venues,” said Banda.
He further addressed concerns surrounding weather disruptions, particularly during the rainy season, noting that contingency measures have been put in place.
“Where matches fail to take place over the weekend, they will be rescheduled for midweek to ensure the league remains on course,” he explained.
SULOM has also maintained a firm position on adherence to rules and regulations governing fixture scheduling, reiterating that postponements will be strictly limited.
“Postponements will only be considered under exceptional circumstances beyond anyone’s control. We expect clubs to honor fixtures as scheduled,” he said.
On venue management, Banda highlighted that the league will take decisive action where necessary to ensure continuity of matches.
“Where a designated venue is not available, matches will be moved to alternative approved venues. If both options fail, SULOM will exercise its mandate to assign a suitable venue. ,” he added.
