Today, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, the FIFA (https:\/\/www.FIFA.com<\/a>) President Gianni Infantino met with Football Association of Malawi President Fleetwood Haiya.<\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

Football Association of Malawi President Fleetwood Haiya (EN):<\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

"We also discussed issues about infrastructure improvement and development, which is very key in my country, as we don’t have a proper infrastructure. So, this is everything we were talking about. We need to have infrastructure so that that can give a platform to the players."<\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

Football Association of Malawi President Fleetwood Haiya (EN):<\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

"We’re talking about infrastructure development and improvement: most of the stadiums in Malawi are owned by the government, so the government is the biggest player in our football in Malawi. This is why I invited the President to come to my country so that we can also sit down with the team. Finally, we also talked about capacity-building and the technical support. You know, all the schools, what we need is just capacity-building and the technical support, and maybe the technical equipment. I’m sure that, with these few goals that I have given to the President, we are going to move our football to another level in Malawi."<\/p>\n","pinned_expiry":"0","press_type":"","source_name":"FIFA","source_slug":"fifa","source_logo":"1f5e72296291597","source_lang":"en","source_subdomain":"fifa","city_name":null,"country_name":null,"media_url":"https:\/\/fifa.africa-newsroom.com\/press\/media\/malawi-president-meets-fifa-president?lang=en","videos":[{"id":"107213","created":"2023-12-21 12:57:57","updated":null,"created_by":"16743","ordering_count":"58380","media_press_id":"286082","media_file_id":null,"media_type":"v","media_video_id":null,"media_video":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8AKdCdpStAY?si=M00qxywIm-ZZFFz8","media_video_type":"e","no_views":null,"no_shares":null,"no_download":null,"media_audio_id":null,"media_audio":null,"media_audio_type":null,"media_id":"107213","file_id":null,"folder_id":null,"type":null,"name":null,"filename":null,"path":null,"extension":null,"mimetype":null,"description":null,"alt_attribute":null,"download_count":null,"media_description":"Football Association of Malawi President meets FIFA President","media_lang":"en","media_description_default":"Football Association of Malawi President meets FIFA President","folder_name":null,"folder_slug":null}],"videos_count":1,"images_count":0,"documents_count":0,"audios_count":0,"links":[],"links_count":0,"media_count":1,"expired":true},{"id":"281502","publish_date":"2023-11-10 16:55:15","press_id":"281502","press_headline":"Africa Investment Forum: Rugby Africa President Calls for Investment in the Excellence of Africa","press_sub_heading":"The video below is copyright free and can be used at will, without asking for authorization","press_logo":null,"press_lang":"en","press_email_template_id":"22","press_slug":"africa-investment-forum-rugby-africa-president-calls-for-investment-in-the-excellence-of--africa","press_body":"
