Former Football Association of Malawi (FAM) President, Walter Nyamilandu, has arrived in Cote D’ivoire ahead of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) finals set to begin on Saturday.
Having recently lost the FAM Presidency to Fleetwood Haiya in the December 16th polls, Nyamilandu is now participating in the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Executive Committee in his capacity as an Executive Committee member.
“Duty calls as I attend the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Executive meeting ahead of the kick-off of AFCON 2023 in Abidjan, Cote D’ivoire. All is set to deliver an exceptional and memorable experience of the Africa Cup of Nations under the leadership of Dr. Patrice Motsepe,” he shared on his official Facebook page.
Nyamilandu, who held the position of FAM president for the longest duration, lost the polls to Haiya in Mzuzu during the Elective General Assembly.
Despite the change in leadership, Nyamilandu remains active in football, serving as an Executive Committee member of CAF for the next three years.
