The Super League of Malawi has confirmed the officiating team for FCB Nyasa Big Bullets’ TNM Super League fixture against Mighty Tigers at Mpira Stadium this Saturday.
Mayamiko Kanjere will take charge as centre referee, bringing his wealth of experience to one of the season’s key matches.
This clash carries significant weight in the 2025 league title race. Bullets currently sit second on 62 points from 28 matches, three points behind leaders Mighty Wanderers (65). Silver Strikers are in third with 57 points.
All three title contenders are in action simultaneously this weekend: Bullets face relegation-threatened Mighty Tigers, Wanderers host Moyale Barracks, and Silver Strikers travel to Champion Stadium to play MAFCO FC.
Referee – Mayamiko Kanjere
Kanjere is one of Malawi’s most experienced and respected referees, having overseen numerous high-profile matches in the TNM Super League and national cup competitions. Known for his calm authority and ability to manage tense encounters, he has become a trusted official for title-deciding fixtures.

Saturday’s assignment will be his third Bullets appearance of the season, and his experience will be crucial as Maule aim to close the gap at the top of the table against a determined Mighty Tigers side.
