The Football Association of Malawi (FAM) has donated K5 million towards the Sports Writers Association of Malawi (SWAM) Annual General Meeting (AGM), scheduled to take place from 13 to 15 November 2026.
FAM President, Fleetwood Haiya, said the contribution demonstrates the association’s commitment to supporting sports journalists, whom he described as key stakeholders in football development.
Haiya said journalists play an important role in communicating football activities to the public, adding that FAM considers it important to support platforms that bring sports writers together.
He further urged sports journalists to uphold professionalism, accuracy and credibility in their work, emphasising the need to verify information and conduct proper research before publishing stories.
On his part, SWAM President Mphatso Malidadi thanked FAM for the financial support, saying the contribution will help the association successfully organise its AGM.
Malidadi also acknowledged FAM’s continued recognition of the media’s role in promoting football development in the country.
The donation is a big jump from last year’s K2 million, showing FAM’s growing support for sports journalists.
