Barely months after knocking out Karonga United in the FDH Bank Cup, Chatoloma ADMARC have been expelled from the 2025/2026 Central Region Football League for failing to fulfill scheduled fixtures.
General Secretary for the Association, Antonio Manda, confirmed the development to Wa Mpira.

According to Manda, despite several formal communications and adequate notice, the club failed to honour three consecutive league fixtures without providing any justification.
“This behaviour disrupts the league’s integrity, causes logistical challenges, and results in financial losses for the association, particularly in the deployment of match officials,” Manda said.
The missed fixtures include matches against Luanar FC on 12th November 2025 (away), Airborne Rangers on 20th November 2025 (away), and Armour Battalion on 23rd November 2025 (home).
“In accordance with Article 13.20 (b), which clearly states that a team that absconds three consecutive matches shall be removed from the league, we have taken this action,” Manda explained.
He confirmed that Chatoloma ADMARC FC’s removal from the league is effective immediately.
Manda reaffirmed the association’s commitment to enforcing discipline, upholding professionalism, and safeguarding the credibility of all competitions under its jurisdiction.
“No team or individual will be allowed to compromise the standards of the game,” he warned.
