Malawi’s National Women’s Football Team, the Scorchers, recently suffered a 3-1 defeat to Ghana in a friendly match.
Despite the loss, Coach Lovemore Fazili remains optimistic about the team’s chances in the upcoming Women’s African Cup of Nations Qualifiers against Angola in October this year.
Fazili’s confidence in his team is evident in his decision to stick with the current lineup, particularly the goalkeeper, despite criticism from sports analyst Kim Kamau.
Kamau believes that the team needs to strengthen its defense and consider a change in goalkeeping to improve their performance.
The Scorchers’ recent record hasn’t been impressive, with five losses in six friendly matches.
However, Fazili’s unwavering faith in his team could be the catalyst for a turnaround.
As the team prepares to face Angola, the question on everyone’s mind is: will Fazili’s strategy pay off?
The upcoming match against Angola will be a crucial test for the Scorchers. Can they overcome their defensive woes and make a strong impression in the qualifiers?.
