Seasoned Referee Chicco to Referee Bullets vs Dedza Dynamos at Kamuzu Stadium
The Super League of Malawi (SULOM) has announced the officiating panel for the much-anticipated second-round TNM Super League clash between Blue Eagles and Dedza Dynamos, set to take place on Saturday afternoon at Kamuzu Stadium. The appointment of seasoned referee Chicco as the center referee has raised excitement among football enthusiasts, as the official has already officiated three of Blue Eagles' fixtures this season.
Chicco, who hails from Mangochi, has gained a reputation for his fairness and professionalism in local football. His experience at Kamuzu Stadium is extensive, having overseen several high-profile matches, including Blue Eagles' 4-1 victory over Creck Sporting Club in April and the 4-0 win against Kamuzu Barracks in May. He also served as the fourth official during the dramatic 3-3 draw with Karonga United in August.
Assisting Chicco will be Pondamali Tembo and Sibusiso Sibande, who have been assigned as Assistant Referees 1 and 2, respectively. Tembo, who has been involved in several Blue Eagles matches this season, will be making his fourth appearance in Bullets fixtures across all competitions. Sibande, on the other hand, was also on the lines during the 4-0 victory over Kamuzu Barracks in May, making this his second Bullets assignment of the season.
Fans might be particularly interested in the appointment of Shaibu Cassim as the fourth official for the fixture. Cassim, who served a six-month suspension last year following controversy over his handling of Blue Eagles' fixture against MAFCO, is set to oversee a Bullets match for the first time this season. The incident drew heavy criticism, with Bullets midfielder Wongani Lungu being brought down and then deliberately stamped on by several opposition players, with no disciplinary action taken during the incident.
Jones Chimeza, a match assessor, will oversee the officiating team on Saturday. Chimeza, who has not been involved in a Bullets match in two years, will be assessing the performance of the officials to ensure fairness and accountability in local football.
Both sides are fighting for crucial points in the second round, and the encounter is expected to draw a large crowd at Kamuzu Stadium. Supporters who won't make it to the stadium can still follow the match through multiple platforms. The game will be broadcast live on Mpira TV and streamed globally via FIFA+.
With the tension building, fans are eagerly anticipating the match and the opportunity to witness their team battle it out for valuable points in the TNM Super League title race.
