Malawi Coach Names Squad for U-20 World Cup Qualifier
Maggi Chombo, the head coach of Malawi's U-20 women's national football team, has named a 29-member squad in preparation for the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup final preliminary round qualifier against Nigeria. The match is set to take place on May 2, 2026, with a return leg scheduled for May 9, 2026, at the Bingu National Stadium.
Chombo has retained 21 players who previously featured in the third round qualifiers against Guinea-Bissau earlier this year, indicating a strategy of continuity within the squad. The winner of this two-leg tie will secure qualification for the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, which is set to be held in Poland from August 27 to September 26, 2026.
The team is expected to commence training at Mpira Village in Blantyre to intensify preparations for this crucial encounter.
