After an unsuccessful attempt to play the Malawian national team in a friendly clash last February, Taifa Stars have finally secured a new date against the Southern African side.

Tanzania Football Federation secretary general Fredrick Mwakalebela, said yesterday that the match will be played at the New National Stadium on May 25, a week before the 2010 African Nations and World Cup qualifier against Mauritius.

Unlike the aborted friendly clash in February, the Malawian soccer federation has confirmed with absolute certainty to send their national team, he said.

The Malawi national side had already started training to gear up for the match, he further noted.

He said Stars' line up would include Tanzanian exports in the likes of Haruna Moshi, Meshack Abel, Danny Mrwanda, Nizar Khalfani and Erasto Nyoni.

TFF will foot bills of the Malawi team ranging from the return flight, accommodation and other expenses like internal transport, he stated.

"We are in final preparations to facilitate the Malawian contingent and so far communications are encouraging," said Mwakalebela.
