Gilbert Chirwa has named his starting XI for this afternoon’s FDH Bank Premiership fixture against MAFCO FC at Joyce Chitsulo Stadium in Mwanza, with kick-off set for 14:30.
The FCB Nyasa Big Bullets head coach makes four changes to the side that started in our 2-2 draw against Civil Service United in the league opener away in Lilongwe last weekend.
In goal, Innocent Nyasulu returns to replace Pilirani Mapira, while Andrew Jovinala comes in for Yamikani Mologeni.
Chirwa retains the central defensive pairing of captain Blessings Mpokera and Emmanuel Kaunga.
On the left side of defence, Aaron Chilipa starts on his return from injury, replacing Prince Chiumia, who is not in the matchday squad for this afternoon’s fixture.
Further forward, Peter Banda starts in place of the injured Misheck Billiat.
Dastan Banda leads the attack once again, while Clever Kalambo—who opened the scoring in the 2026 FDH Bank Premiership campaign—retains his place on the flank.
