TNM Super League 2020/21, what transpired?

The 2020/21 TNM Super League season was a historical one, which the Super League of Malawi (Sulom) has administered since 1986 the league was established.

The season produced both good and bad moments. During the season we saw spectators being banned to watch games due to Covid-19, teams facing financial constraints and the league was suspended.

It will be written in history, that the 2020/21 season was the longest Malawi has hard for the past decade.

As they say "Learning is a Lifelong Process" stakeholders involved in the football game in Malawi have been enlightened on how to survive in hard situations like the 2020/21 season.

Imagine, from nowhere teams and spectaors hard to accept that football in Malawi can be played behind closed door.

The just ended football season has taught us great lessons as we continue the journey of improving standards of the game locally.

Teams lacking sponsors has proved to be a contributing factor on how they can perform.

For instance, Ntopwa. The Amagettoh kids started on high note but due to inadequate funds for some operations at the club like paying players bonuses and salaries it demoralised the clubs performance.

And now we will not have the team playing next season in the country's elite league as they have been relegated.

From 2020/21 football season going forward, teams need to embark on commercialisation drive. With this path teams might stop complaining of finances.

A club that is financially stable puts up a good fight in contesting for the title.

The past years we have seen Nyasa Big Bullets lifting the league, its not just a miracle but the team is financially capable to bring in the resources required.

Still it remains a challenge to get the top goal-scorer netting more than 20 goals. This seasons top goal-scorer is Hassan Kajoke of Bullets who scored 15 goals

In 2020/21 seaaon, Nyasa Big Bullets were crowned as the league winners after amassing 62 points from 30 games second by Silver Strikers who finished the season with 58 points.

While Chitipa United, Mzuzu Warriors and Ntopwa have been relegated from the Super League.

Blue Eagles survived the chop in the league due to goal difference. The Lilongwe based team was level on points with Chitipa United at 32 points from 30 matches.

Bullets dominates TNM Super League championship; No team from the North has won the league

Nyasa Big Bullets have won the TNM Super League 5 times since the telecommunication company started sponsoring the country's elite league.

The People's team first won the Super League under TNM Plc sponsorship in 2014 before emerging the league victors in 2015, 2018, 2019 and 2020 football seasons.

Since the commercialisation of the Blantyre based giants, the team has been one of the top clubs competing for the Super League championship.

And Silver Strikers comes second behind Bullets with 4 TNM Super League titles.

The Central Bankers were first crowned as the league winners 3-years after TNM Plc entered into partnership with Sulom to be sponsoring the local top-flight league.

The Bankers then won the league in 2011, 2012 and lastly in 2013.

Escom United are on position 3 having 3 Super League titles. The team which disbanded due to no sponsorship won the league in 2007, 2008 and then in 2010.

And Mighty Wanderers were the first team to win the TNM Super League in 2006 when the telecommunication company started sponsoring the league.

Till date, Kamuzu Barracks from the capital Lilongwe have 1 title of the TNM Super League championship.

Throughout the past 15-years, TNM Plc has been pumping in K95 million were the winners have been receiving K15 million.

The sponsorship which the local telecommunication company signed with Super League of Malawi (Sulom) ends this year (2021) since 2006.

TNM Plc has pledged to continue sponsoring the country's Super League with improved sponsorship package.

The company is expected to increase the price money for the Super League champions in its forthcoming deal.

Nyasa Big Bullets have been crowned as winners for the 2020/21 TNM Super League seconded by Silver Strikers.
