Malawi’s Beach Soccer National Team will begin its 2026 CAF Beach Soccer Africa Cup of Nations campaign against Morocco on Sunday, 29 November, in Senegal.
The Beach Soccer Hustlers are in Group B alongside Morocco, Mauritania and Angola. They will face Mauritania on 1 December before meeting Angola on 2 December.
The tournament will run from 28 November to 6 December, with eight teams competing in two groups. The top two sides from each group will advance to the semifinals.
Head coach Willy Kumilambe has described Malawi’s group as fair and expressed confidence in his players, while calling for more international exposure for less experienced members of the squad.
The semifinals will take place on 4 December, with the final scheduled for 6 December. The two finalists will qualify for the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.
Malawi secured qualification after defeating Seychelles 16-3 on aggregate, winning 6-2 away before completing the job with a 10-1 victory at Salima Livingstonia Beach.
