National Bank of Malawi (NBM) plc joins other supporters in backing the Malawi National Women’s Football Team, the “Scorchers,” as the players depart for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco. According to both outlets, NBM provides support at a send-off ceremony held at Kamuzu International Airport (KIA) in Malawi on Tuesday. The coverage describes the event as a warm farewell for the national team before the tournament begins later this month. The reports also state that Malawi qualifies for the competition for the first time, marking a milestone for the team’s participation at WAFCON. While the articles focus on the public support and departure preparations, they do not provide additional details on the financial amount of NBM’s backing or the full list of sponsors. Overall, both sources agree that NBM participates in a national-level event to encourage the team ahead of WAFCON in Morocco and that the Scorchers’ qualification is their first for the tournament.
