FCB Nyasa Big Bullets Women's Historic Run in FIFA U20 World Cup Qualifiers Resumes Domestic Campaign
Bullets Women Set to Face Topik Academy in NBM Premiership Rescheduled Fixture
FCB Nyasa Big Bullets Women's historic run in the FIFA U20 Women's World Cup qualifiers is set to resume as they prepare to face Topik Academy in a rescheduled NBM Women's Premiership fixture on Sunday, 5 October, at Kamuzu Stadium.
The initial match was postponed due to the Malawi Under-20 Women's national team's involvement in the qualifiers, where they made history by advancing to the third round after eliminating South Sudan. Bullets Women's head coach Maggie Chombo led the team to this achievement.
Bullets Women's last league game was on 7 September, where they suffered a 3-1 defeat to Ascent Academy in Lilongwe. The team currently sits seventh in the standings with seven points from five games.
Key players, such as captain Zainab Kapanda and forward Mary Chavinda, are expected to return from injuries for Sunday's game. Asimenye Mwanyongo also returns to the squad after representing Malawi U20 in the qualifiers.
This will be only the second-ever meeting between Bullets Women and Topik Academy. The first clash came in the 2023 National Championship, where Bullets Women cruised to a 7-1 victory. The emphatic result will provide confidence heading into Sunday's contest.
Topik Academy, still searching for their first victory of the season, will be determined to upset the hosts. The early kick-off will serve as the curtain-raiser to a blockbuster day in Blantyre, as the men's first team take on TNM Super League champions Silver Strikers later in the afternoon.
A victory on Sunday would move Bullets Women into the top half of the table and regain momentum in their Premiership campaign. The challenge of balancing international duties with domestic league fixtures and the impact on team morale and momentum is a significant factor in the upcoming match.
The determination of Topik Academy to secure their first victory of the season adds to the excitement of the fixture. Bullets Women will look to continue their impressive form in the qualifiers and carry it over to the league campaign.
