The rescheduling comes amidst a busy period for FCB Nyasa Big Bullets. Their league match against Civil Service United, originally set for Monday, July 7, has also been postponed. This is due to the call-up of eight key Bullets players to Kalisto Pasuwa’s national squad, which is set to face Botswana on Sunday, July 6, at Bingu National Stadium, coinciding with Malawi’s Independence Day celebrations.
According to a fixture released by Sulom on Saturday, the postponed league game between Civil Service United and Big Bullets will now be played on July 12th in Lilongwe.
