On March 4, 2024, there was a big fitness test for referees, and it had some unexpected events. In the Northern Region of Malawi, 210 referees gathered at Mzuzu Stadium and Karonga Stadium to do their fitness tests.
Out of the 33 elite referees from the Northern Region, only three didn’t meet the fitness standards (names withheld). Looking at the Regional league referees, 6 out of 15 from Nkhatabay and 9 out of 39 in Karonga didn’t pass the fitness test.
In Rumphi district, 12 referees took part, but sadly, 2 of them didn’t pass. Looking at the younger referees, Mzimba had one, Rumphi had two, Karonga had an impressive 50, and Mzuzu had 29 referees. This shows there are many young referees in the region.
