Malawi head coach Maggie Chombo has strengthened her squad ahead of Saturday’s 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup final qualifying round second-leg clash against Nigeria with the inclusion of foreign-based duo Faith Chinzimu and Rose Kabzere.
The Young Scorches suffered a 2-0 defeat to Nigeria in the first leg at the Remo Stars Stadium, Ikenne, last weekend.
The return fixture is scheduled to take place at the Bingu National Stadium.
Midfielder Chinzimu currently plays for Swedish side BK Häcken FF and was part of the team that won the 2025/26 UEFA Women’s Europa League title.
Kabzere, also a midfielder, is on the books of French club Montpellier.
The overall winner on aggregate will qualify for the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup, which will be staged in Poland in September.
