The Flames play Egypt in Cairo this Friday, 13 November, in a 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, days after Egypt sacked coach Hossam Hassan. The return leg is at Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe next week.
FAM spokesperson Collins Nsunza told Nation Online and Nyasa Times that Malawi is focused on its own result, not Egypt’s coaching change.
Key facts
- Egypt v Malawi: Cairo, Friday 13 November
- Malawi v Egypt: Bingu National Stadium, Lilongwe, next week (17 or 18 November; reports differ, FAM will confirm)
- 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, Group B. Egypt lead the group
- Egypt sacked Hossam Hassan on Saturday, six days before the Cairo game
Egypt change coach before the game
Egypt’s federation dismissed Hassan for what it called a “negative impact on the positive image of the team.” A new coach will have less than a week with the squad before Friday.
Nsunza said the change does not alter Malawi’s plan. The Flames want a result in Cairo to take into the home leg.
