Malawi faces Burkina Faso in their final Group L match of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers at the Bingu National Stadium on Monday. While the fixture marks the end of Malawi’s campaign, Burkina Faso has already secured qualification for the tournament in Morocco.
Both teams have revealed their starting line-ups for the match. Despite being out of contention for a spot in next year’s AFCON, Malawi will aim to end their campaign on a high in front of their home crowd.
Meanwhile, Burkina Faso, already assured of a place in Morocco alongside group leaders Senegal, will be looking to maintain their momentum heading into the competition.
With the stakes lower for both sides, the match presents an opportunity for players to showcase their skills and for coaches to experiment with tactics and squad depth.
Malawi will likely rely on their home support to inspire a strong performance, while Burkina Faso may rotate their line-up to give fringe players valuable playing time.
The Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe is expected to host an energetic crowd as Malawi aims to conclude their AFCON journey with a positive result, despite falling short of qualification.
