FIFA “GIVES” MALAWI HOME GROUND ADVANTAGE

FIFA had ordered Malawi to resolve several structural and maintenance issues with the Kamuzu Stadium by May 15, 2009.

FIFA has just certified the Kamuzu Stadium fit to host The Flames World Cup qualifiers but on condition that:

1. The capacity be at 25,000 and that no person should be standing at the stadium during games.

2. Those that do not have tickets are not allowed within the stadium’s perimeter (Remember my advice?: After the tickets are sold out……..).

3. The fences demarcating the stands be higher so that those sitting in one stand should under no circumstance move to the other stands.

4. A shower be fitted in the doping room.

Today, on FIFA website the venue for the June 6, 2009 (Malawi vs. Burkina Faso) game has been changed from TBA (To Be Advised) to Blantyre (Kamuzu Stadium). It’s on. Burkina Faso will be taught the Egypt lesson .
