The team is nicknamed the Flames. Malawi has played in the Africa Cup of Nations three times: in 1984, 2010, and 2021. They also won the CECAFA Cup in 1978, 1979, and 1988.

Team History and Achievements
Early Days and Coaches
The first full-time coach for the Malawi national football team was Ron Meades. He was appointed through the English Football Association. His job was to prepare the team for special Republic Celebrations matches.
Later, Ray Batchelor coached the team for four years. He led them in 23 friendly games and two Olympic Games. Over the years, many coaches have guided the Flames. Some of the most successful coaches include Ted Powell, Henry Moyo, and Kim Splidsboel. Henry Moyo was special because he was the first former national player to become the team's coach.
Playing in Big Tournaments
Malawi first played in the African Cup of Nations in 1984. Only eight teams competed in that tournament. Malawi lost to Algeria and Ghana, but they had an exciting 2-2 draw against Nigeria. They finished last in their group and were eliminated.
After 26 years, Malawi returned to the Africa Cup of Nations in 2010. They qualified because the games for the 2010 FIFA World Cup also counted for AFCON qualification. Even though they finished third in their group, it was enough to reach the finals.
At the 2010 tournament in Angola, Malawi surprised everyone. They beat Algeria, a team that had qualified for the World Cup, with a score of 3-0. Russel Mwafulirwa, a striker, scored one of the goals. He was one of only two players in the squad who played for a club in Europe. Malawi then lost to Angola 2-0. To reach the quarter-finals, they needed a draw in their last game. However, they lost 3-1 to Mali and were eliminated.
Malawi also qualified for the 2021 tournament. They made it to the Round of 16, which was their best performance yet!
