Malawi Darts Teams to Compete in Zambia’s Independence Celebrations

The Darts Association of Malawi (DAM) is proud to announce that Malawi will, for the first time in the history of the sport, travel outside the country to participate in friendly international matches. The national delegation will head to Chipata, Zambia, to join in that country’s Independence Celebrations on 24th October 2025.

The team will travel on 22nd October 2025, with games starting upon arrival and culminating on Zambia’s Independence Day, 24th October. Malawi will be represented by six teams across both youth and senior categories: Youth Teams:

• Boys (13–15 years)
• Boys (16–19 years)
• Girls (13–15 years)
• Girls (15–19 years)

Senior Teams:

• Men’s National Team
• Women’s National Team

This historic trip marks a significant milestone in the growth of darts in Malawi showcasing the sport’s development from grassroots to the national level.

“This is a proud moment for Malawi. We are thrilled to see our players, especially the youth, gain international exposure,” said Peterkins Kayira, President of the Darts Association of Malawi. “If resources allowed, we would have loved to include our veterans as well.”

DAM expresses heartfelt appreciation to the Malawi National Council of Sports (MNCS) for their unwavering support in making this journey possible. The Association is, however, appealing to well-wishers and sponsors to help bridge a shortfall of MWK 2 million to ensure the young players are fully supported and cared for during the trip.

“These kids represent the future of darts in Malawi. Our vision is to develop professional players capable of competing at the World Darts Championship by 2027,” said Otiyela Mtema, Technical & Communications Director of DAM."
