In a statement endorsed by their legal team, led by David Kanyenda, Mighty Wanderers argue that the game\u2019s results are invalid, citing Article 14 of the tournament rules.<\/p>\n<p>This article outlines the Football Association of Malawi (FAM)\u2019s responsibility to address appeals, especially those that have been duly paid for. Kanyenda has issued a warning to FAM, threatening legal action in civil courts if they fail to suspend the tournament, citing a lack of consideration for their appeals.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s noteworthy that Wanderers failed to appear for their match against Lilongwe-based rivals, contradicting tournament statutes, particularly Article 10.6, which specifies that a team not showing up at the scheduled time will lose 2-0 after a 30-minute waiting period.<\/p>\n<p>Football Administrator Kondi Msungama notes that Wanderers may be guided by misinformation from their legal team. Sports Analyst Dan Chemis has advocates for the team\u2019s humility to expedite the tournament\u2019s completion.<\/p>\n<p>Wanderers and FAM have been embroiled in legal disputes for the past week, with the Nomads seeking a postponement to investigate referee errors in their first-leg assignment at Lilongwe\u2019s Bingu National Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the ongoing legal challenges, FCB Nyasa Big Bullets awaits in the finals, while Silver Strikers is set to face MAFCO in the Semi-Finals on December 10th at the Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
