Ethiopia vs Malawi Team News
Malawi Team News
Malawi travel under Kalisto Pasuwa with a squad built around domestic familiarity and several established senior names. The Football Association of Malawi listed players from Mighty Wanderers, Silver Strikers, FCB Nyasa Big Bullets, Civo Service United, MAFCO, Creck Sporting Club, and other local sides. That gives the Flames a familiar base because many players know each other from Super League football.
The Flames should keep a compact midfield because Ethiopia can build momentum quickly at home. Patrick Mwaungulu, Stanley Sanudi, Gomezgani Chirwa, John Banda, and Richard Mbulu give Malawi experience in key zones. Official starters are yet to be confirmed, so the projected XI uses recent squad roles and senior-team balance.
Ethiopia Team News
Ethiopia called a 23-man squad for the Malawi friendly, with Yohannes Sahle using the home fixture after the March qualifiers against Egypt and Djibouti. The squad mix gives the Walias attacking options through Abubeker Nassir, Shimelis Bekele, Getaneh Kebede, and Chernet Gugsa. Ethiopia need a cleaner defensive platform after conceding in several recent qualifiers.
Home conditions in Dire Dawa should help Ethiopia settle early, especially if Sahle asks his midfield to press second balls. Amanuel Yohannes and Surafel Dagnachew can give the hosts control if they receive forward passes under pressure. The official XI remains yet to be confirmed, but Ethiopia should use enough senior players to make the friendly meaningful.

The key live stat is how often Ethiopia can turn home pressure into shots. Malawi need to reduce open-play chances and make set pieces count. If the match stays level past halftime, the Flames should grow into the contest.
Goals and Key Events
Confirmed goals, cards, substitutions, and major match events will be added once available. Event entries should include minute, player, team, and event type when those details are verified. Unconfirmed incidents should stay out of the timeline.
The first match marker will be Ethiopia’s tempo. An early home goal would let Sahle manage the game through midfield. A scoreless opening half would suit Malawi because Pasuwa’s side can keep the contest compact and wait for transition chances.
