One of the country’s top financial institutions, Standard Bank Plc has renewed and increased its sponsorship deal with Malawi Armed Forces College (MAFCO) Football Club, injecting a substantial K26,785,000 into the team’s coffers.

This marks a considerable boost from the previous sponsorship of K18.29 million for the 2023-2024 football season.



The sponsorship covers the team’s football kit and game allowances for the 2024-2024 league fixtures, ensuring MAFCO FC is well-equipped to tackle the demands of the modern game.

Standard Bank’s increased investment demonstrates its commitment to supporting the development of football in Malawi.

In a statement posted on its Facebook page, Standard Bank says the decision to increase the sponsorship aims to help MAFCO Football Club keep pace with the dynamic demands of the modern game.

“The decision to increase the sponsorship aims to help MAFCO Football CLUB keep pace with the dynamic demands of the modern game of football and covers the clubs kit and administration need.”

MAFCO FC has made significant waves in the football scene, with a remarkable season last year that saw them emerge as losing finalists in two competitions.

The team’s dedication and passion for the sport have earned them a loyal fan base, and this sponsorship deal is a well-deserved boost to their efforts.

This renewed and increased sponsorship deal marks a significant milestone for MAFCO FC, and the team is eager to make the most of this opportunity.

With Standard Bank’s support, MAFCO FC is poised to make a lasting impact in the world of Malawian football.
