\u201cIt will also be an opportunity for the new president to appraise FIFA on his vision for Malawi football as per his transforming Malawi football agenda,\u201d said Gunda<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Infantino sent an official letter congratulating Haiya for following his ascendancy to the country\u2019 football highest seat. \u201cPlease accept my warmest greetings and sincerest congratulations for your election as President of the Football Association of Malawi (FAM).<\/p>\n

\u201cYour knowledge and leadership, your passion, and experience will undoubtedly have an important impact on the development of our beautiful game in Malawi. Convinced of the potential of football in the country, you can count on my personal support and the help of FIFA to achieve the goal. The doors of FIFA are always open if you wish to discuss our sport, it\u2019s development and the promotion of its values,\u201d said Infantino.<\/p>\n
