Fifa has reportedly given the nod to Football Association of Malawi (Fam)’s amended domestic calendar to run from November 21 2020 to July 31 2021.

The season in Malawi was supposed to run from March 21 to December 2020 but it was suspended due to coronavirus pandemic.

Fam club licensing and compliance manager, Casper Jangale, says Fifa has approved the new date for registering players in Mpira Connect and Domestic Transfer Matching System platforms.

“We are delighted to announce that Fifa has granted us the opportunity to update the new season dates in the Fifa TMS system which will see us migrate from a single year calendar to a dual-year calendar.

“They have also allowed us to update a new player registration and transfer period from 7th November to 21st November 2020 while the mid-season window will fall between 22nd March 2021 and 21st April 2021. Clubs will, therefore, be allowed to transact within these periods,” he said.

The 2020/21 football will kick off on 21st November 2020 with the Charity Shield followed by the Super League a week later.
