You know, all the schools, what we need is just capacity-building and the technical support, and maybe the technical equipment. I\u2019m sure that, with these few goals that I have given to the President, we are going to move our football to another level in Malawi.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/fifa.africa-newsroom.com\/press\/malawi-president-meets-fifa-president?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ZURICH, Switzerland, December 21, 2023\/APO Group\/ &#8212; Today, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, the FIFA (https:\/\/www.FIFA.com) President Gianni Infantino met with Football Association of Malawi President Fleetwood Haiya.
