The new Central Region Football Association (CRFA) has committed to ensure the association is equipped with proper offices and a regional technical Centre to promote football activities.

Incoming chairperson, Goodall Chinjoka made these remarks on Saturday 8th February 2025 at Kalipano Hotel in Dowa District after being confirmed winner of the body’s elections.

Chinjoka emphasised that in the four years he has served as the vice-chairperson of the region, it was disheartening to witness the lack of transparency, particularly on information from the Football Association of Malawi (FAM).

In his mini-version of transforming the game in the Central region, Chinjoka has also promised to construct district football offices within 3 months in all 9 districts of CRFA.

Chinjoka further mentioned that he will have discussions with senior officials from Chipiku, the official sponsors of premier division league to increase their sponsorship package from the current K19 million.

FAM Executive Committee Member and Chairperson of the Competitions and Marketing Committee, Felistus Dossi affirmed that the association is committed to support the Central region and other regions to transform the game of football as per President Fleetwood Haiya’s vision.

Regarding the issue of offices, Dossi highlighted that FAM has already provided CRFA with Office space at Bingu National Stadium.

Chinjoka was decleared the winner on Saturday beating Austin Ajawa by 23 votes to 12.
