History

The football association of Malawi has been mostly associated with the senior national team called the Flames. This team has been participating in international competitions since the 60s but has not had any honours as yet. It has qualified for the African cup of nations only one in the late 70s when it was on its peak.

Of late there has been administrative and management changes taking place in the hope of winning some honours. Recently the Flames went six games registering losses in all of them. They managed to win the seventh game, a friendly international against Swaziland and that saved the job of the coach, Stephen Constantine of England. As of January 2008 they were ranked 137th in the world and 38th in Africa.
