FCB Nyasa Big Bullets Reserves’ Misheck Billiat and Kondwani Tebulo have earned call-ups to the Malawi Under-20 provisional squad ahead of the 12th African Union Sports Council (AUSC) Region 5 Youth Tournament, scheduled for July 2026 in Mozambique.
The duo, who have previously featured in junior Malawi squads, return to the national team setup as they join the junior Flames camp.

Tebulo made a significant impact off the bench, scoring and providing an assist in Bullets Reserves’ 4-1 victory over Immigration FC at Kamuzu Stadium on Thursday, a result that moved the team to third in the standings.
