The Super League of Malawi has stood to ground and denied requests to alter the officiating panel for the Blantyre derby between FCB Nyasa Big Bullets and Mighty Mukuru Wanderers slated for tomorrow at Kamuzu Stadium.
This follows heightened reports that the clubs had been expressing discontent over the referees given previous incidents in which the teams accuse some members of the panel of not being professional.
Ahead of the derby, the talk about the referees has been the mainstay on social media, other than what comes off the bragging rights at stake.
But Sulom insists, no changes have been made meaning that Mayamiko Kanjere will still be the main man as referee with Pondamali Tembo and Yohane Chiutika as his assistants.
“The same has already been communicated to all relevant stakeholders. SULOM recognizes the importance of having impartial and competent officiation in the development of football in Malawi, “reads part of the statement issued this morning.
Both sides have 8 points, two shy of leaders Silver Strikers and one away from second placed Mzuzu City Hammers.
The Nomads are third with Bullets fourth given the goal difference mark.
