The Super League of Malawi (SULOM) has taken disciplinary action against Silver Strikers, Elias Missi, and Ekhaya FC for unsporting behavior during their matches.
The charges against Silver Strikers include failing to control the actions of its supporters, who poured a fluid substance on Mafco FC’s goalkeeper and intimidated players, pitch invasion, and bringing the League into disrepute.
Elias Missi, Ekhaya FC’s goalkeeper, has been charged with violent conduct for strangling FCB Nyasa Big Bullets player Babatunde Adepoju.
Ekhaya FC has also been charged with bringing the League into disrepute, damaging the image of sponsors TNM plc, the Super League of Malawi, and the game.
Both parties are expected to appear before the SULOM Disciplinary Committee for a hearing.
SULOM’s decision to take disciplinary action demonstrates its commitment to upholding the integrity and reputation of the League.
The incidents involving Silver Strikers and Elias Missi are a reminder that sportsmanship and discipline are essential components of any sporting competition.
The behavior of players and supporters can have a significant impact on the outcome of matches and the overall reputation of the League.
The outcome of the disciplinary hearing will be closely watched by fans and stakeholders alike. A fair and just decision will help to maintain the credibility of the League and ensure that the game is played with the integrity and sportsmanship that it deserves.
