Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>As the euphoria stirred by Malawi National Football team\u2019s sensation run in the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) finals in Cameroon is in the air, Malawi\u2019s music star has paid tribute to the team.<\/p>\n

This follows the team\u2019s historical qualification for the knockout stages after finishing as best third-placed team for Group B which featured Africa\u2019s highest ranked team Senegal, Guinea as well as Zimbabwe. Writing on his Facebook page, Namadingo said although he was engaged with a project he is working on he managed to watch all the group stages games.<\/p>\n

Reads the post: \u201cIn the past two weeks, I have been off social media and silently travelled to two countries out of Zambia for work. Among the two countries, none of them qualified for the Afcon. When the games started I was almost the only one excusing myself from the work to go and watch the games. The Director understood me for this was big for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said he was impressed in the first game against Guinea although Malawi lost. Said Namadingo: \u201cThe gameplay of our team though we lost. I believe our play was of class and modern. Khuda Muyaba all tucked in, in his one sided blonde hair, # 13 Peter Banda not forgetting Madinga, Chester and Kakhobwe. Some names I was hearing for the first time being someone who does not follow much on football.<\/p>\n

\u201cI paid extra attention to the football analysis at half time. Asamoah Gyan the Ghanaian on the panel shared the same observation that Malawi was a better side despite the loss, the flames played a whole new play not as most people out there anticipated.<\/p>\n

\u201cSecond game the Flames won. Being away and not able to come, I was on a spaghetti junction of emotions. I didn\u2019t know how to celebrate and cry at the same time. For, I had just received sad news of the passing of my uncle who was as good as my late father.<\/p>\n

\u201cI maintained and a mourning period as per tradition in silence but continued watching the games in that hotel room with my flag on the bed. Third game, it was a draw and I am back out of work. But like most of us I was confused what next for the Flames?<\/p>\n

The Zambia-based musician said he was happy to have seen that the team\u2019s exploits has united the nation. \u201cThe unity they had installed in all country men. Everyone was just happy as a Malawian. Seeing these young men from different regions work together and bring such beautiful celebratory moments to a whole country,\u201d he said. He also took off the pressure from the team against high rated Morocco, who are ranked 28 in the world, 101 places above the Flames.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not about winning the next games. It\u2019s about the pride and happiness these men have generated in these hard times. So to Gaba, Thom the goalkeeper and FDH Bank, Malawi Koleza moto. God bless the team of Flames 2022 Afcon. They have done a good job that ignites the fire. All the very best as we face more obstacles. God willing we shall overcome!<\/p>\n

God bless Malawi,\u201d Namadingo summed up. Reacting to the post, Football Association of Malawi commercial and marketing director Limbani Matola said: \u201cWell put Doctor.\u201d<\/p>\n
