Gabadinho Mhango Is Very Happy To Qualify For AFCON 2022!

Gabadinho Mhango Is Very Happy To Qualify For AFCON 2022! The Orlando Pirates striker will participate in next year’s showpiece event in Cameroon.

Gabadinho Mhango helped Malawi qualify to AFCON for only the 3^rd time in their history. They are not a big football country, compared to other African countries.

So, this is an historic achievement for the players and coaching staff.

“It’s something special for the country.” He tells the Orlando Pirates website.

“You know Malawi is not a big country, and qualifying for AFCON is something I think will be remembered for a long time. It’s a great feeling for the Malawian national team, as well as everybody in Malawi.” He added.

The Flames secured qualification with only 2 games remaining from Group B. It was very unlikely that they would make it, but against all odds they managed to usurp their opponents.

“We believed in each other. I think some people outside the setup probably did not believe we could pull it off.

“I mean, we may look small on the field. When you see us, you’d say we are small boys playing against grown men.

“But at the end of the day, we have that heart. 

He will be participating in his first ever major tournament with Malawi. He made his debut in 2012.

“It feels good to have been part of the team that made the country proud. It’s something I’ve always wanted to be able to achieve.

“Before even taking to the field for our first game in the international break, we saw it as an opportunity to make history for ourselves, and yeah, we managed to do that.” Mhango added.
