The Super League of Malawi (SULOM) Disciplinary Committee summoned FCB Nyasa Big Bullets for a hearing regarding the disorderly conduct that occurred during their match against Silver Strikers FC on June 2, 2024, at Kamuzu Stadium in Blantyre.
The club faced two charges: failure to control its supporters and bringing the game into disrepute. FCB Nyasa Big Bullets admitted to the charges and expressed remorse.
This remorse, combined with several mitigating factors, influenced the committee’s decision. These factors included the Bullets’ formal apology to Silver Strikers, a payment of K6 million for bus maintenance, reconciliation with Silver Strikers supporters, the return of confiscated drums, the training of their own stewards for security assistance, and efforts to identify those responsible for the violence on June 2, 2024.
Considering all these factors, the Disciplinary Committee fined FCB Nyasa Big Bullets a total of K2,300,000 (Two Million Three Hundred Thousand Kwacha) in accordance with SULOM Rules and Regulations.
Additionally, the committee recommended that SULOM expedite disciplinary matters by ensuring timely submissions of incident reports. They also suggested that teams should independently determine match security marshals as per the Police Act, Article 115.
