Malawi’s men’s football team have won only one of their last 10 matches and are ranked 131st in the world after losing 3-1 to Angola in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Analyst Parry Chinyama questions the progress made under coach Kalisto Pasuwa, whose position reportedly depends on qualification, Mwnation reports.

The Flames, Malawi’s men’s national football team, have won only one of their last 10 matches under Kalisto Pasuwa, their coach. They have won only one of six matches in 2026, while their Fifa ranking has fallen to 131st, just seven places above their worst-ever ranking, according to Mwnation.

Malawi notably lost 3-1 to Angola on 6 October in the qualifiers for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. This defeat followed losses to Namibia and Tunisia in March 2025, then to Lesotho, Angola and South Africa in regional and continental competitions.
