MTN Super League side ZESCO United have reinforced their squad with two new acquisitions namely Emmanuel Manda and Derrick Obame. 
Derrick Maureen Assoumou Obame is a Gabonese attacking midfielder who joins Team Ya Ziko from Football Canon 105. The club took to social media to confirm the development. 
Emmanuel Manda joins Zega Mambo from FC MUZA and has penned a two year deal with the Ndola based outfit. 
“ZESCO United Football Club is proud to officially unveil two exciting new additions to the Ndola Giants – Gabonese attacking midfielder Derrick Maureen Assoumou Obame and Zambian forward Emmanuel Manda from FC MUZA.
At only 19 years old, Obame arrives from Football Canon 105 (Gabon) as a highly rated left-footed playmaker, identified by the club as a strategic addition to strengthen creativity, tempo control and attacking unpredictability ahead of both domestic and continental campaigns. His technical quality, vision, composure in tight spaces and attacking intelligence are expected to elevate ZESCO’S offensive play and provide quality service to the forwards. Obame has already linked up with the squad in Ndola and will integrate immediately with the technical team,” reads part of a statement from ZESCO United. 
“Meanwhile, Emmanuel Manda joins the live wires from FC MUZA, bringing aggression, pace and attacking hunger to the frontline. The dynamic forward has officially arrived in Ndola and put pen to paper on a two-year contract following agreement between the two clubs. Known for his ability to unsettle defenders and his all-round attacking play, Manda now embarks on an exciting new chapter at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium as ZESCO continues to build a squad capable of challenging for silverware both locally and continentally.”

Malawi Women’s National Team Coach Lovemore Fazili has admitted that his side has been drawn in a group of death against big teams for the TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) Morocco 2026. 
Fazili however believes this is a motivation for the Scorchers to fight hard at the highest level. 
Malawi have been drawn in Group C alongside Champions Nigeria, 2022 bronze medalists, Zambia and North African side Egypt. 

“On paper, we have been drawn against big teams. It is called the group of death for a reason, but that also gives us hope and motivation to fight at the highest level. We have the defending champions in our group, so we need to analyse all our opponents thoroughly,” Fazili told FAM Media. 
Malawi will open their WAFCON campaign against Nigeria on 18 March, face Egypt three days later, and conclude the group stage against neighbours Zambia on 24 March.
Fazili emphasized that preparations will be intensive, with the upcoming COSAFA Women’s Championship playing a key role, particularly in involving local-based players to strengthen squad depth.

“Our preparations will be stiff. We will utilise COSAFA to give opportunities to local players so that we can go to Morocco strongly,” he said. 
“We are not changing the squad, but we will expand it to fix loopholes and improve competition within the team.”
Malawi secured their first-ever WAFCON qualification after a 2–0 aggregate victory over Angola at Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe, marking a historic milestone for women’s football in the country.
The continental showpiece will be staged in Morocco from 17 March to 3 April 2026.
