Malawi Independence Anniversary Matches


Malawi attained independence from the United Kingdom on 6 July 1964 and became a republic on 6 July 1966, with dr. Hastings Kamuzu Banda becoming the first ever president of the country.
For more than half a century, from 1964 to 2015, the national football usually played a match on the independence anniversary day. Since 2017 a friendly match between two local club teams is played.
