The Scorchers, Malawi’s national women’s football team, are gearing up for their highly anticipated trip to Zambia.
However, a last-minute change in their flight itinerary has forced the team to adjust their travel plans.
Due to a lack of space on the Lusaka route, the team will now depart in three separate groups.

Therefore the first group, comprising five players and two officials, will leave on Tuesday.
The second group, made up of eleven players and three officials, will depart on Wednesday.
Thefinal group, consisting of three players and six officials, will leave on Thursday.
Meanwhile, the Scorchers’ European-based players – Tabitha Chawinga, Rose Kabzere, Vanessa Chikupira, and Bernadetta Mkandawire – will join the squad in Zambia on Wednesday.
The team is expected to come together in Zambia, ready to take on their opponents.
