Malawi's Tripartite Elections Force FCB Nyasa Big Bullets to Postpone "Super Saturday"
FCB Nyasa Big Bullets supporters in Malawi face a delayed return to Kamuzu Stadium as domestic football fixtures have been suspended between 12 and 18 September 2025. The announcement was made on Thursday night by the Super League of Malawi and the Blantyre District Youth Football Committee, following a directive from the Football Association of Malawi.
The elections, scheduled for 16 September, were cited as the reason for the suspension. The break affects the TNM Super League, NBM Women’s Premiership, Blantyre District Youth Football League, and the NBS Bank Premier Division League. Consequently, Bullets' First Team, Women's Team, and Under-19 side, all due to play at home on Saturday, will not feature.
"Super Saturday" Postponed: What's Next for Bullets?
Initially, Kamuzu Stadium was set to host three Bullets fixtures in one day. The morning was scheduled to open with the Under-19s facing Airspot United in the Blantyre District Youth Football League at 9:30 a.m. This fixture would have been followed by the Women's Team taking on Topik Academy from Mzuzu at 11 a.m. The climax of the day was to see the First Team return to league action against Dedza Dynamos at 2:30 p.m. However, this "Super Saturday" for Maule faithful has now been postponed.
Impact on Bullets, Strong in Form
The postponement comes at a time when the senior side is in strong form, leading the TNM Super League table with 40 points, just one point ahead of rivals Mighty Mukuru Wanderers. Saturday's clash against Dedza Dynamos would have marked Bullets' long-awaited return to Kamuzu Stadium following the thrilling 3-3 draw with Karonga United in August.
New Dates Unconfirmed: Follow Bullets' Official Platforms for Updates
New dates for the postponed fixtures are yet to be confirmed. Bullets are expected to resume action once clearance is given, and supporters are encouraged to follow the club's official platforms for updates on revised kick-off times and further developments.
Despite the delay, Bullets fans remain hopeful that their teams will continue to perform well and look forward to supporting them at Kamuzu Stadium as soon as possible.
