FCB Nyasa Big Bullets made it to the final four of the 2025 Airtel Top 8 tournament. Maxwell Gasten Phodo scored with a header after 28 minutes at Nankhaka Stadium in Lilongwe. This gave Peter Mponda's team a 1-0 win over two matches. The People's Team will next play either Silver Strikers or Moyale Barracks. This marks their sixth time reaching the semifinals.
The team has won this tournament three times when they reached the last four stage. They lost to Silver Strikers in 2017 during the early rounds. Blue Eagles beat them in the final match the next season. Officials banned the Red Army from the 2019 competition because fans acted violently during the previous final. They came back in 2021 and won against Moyale Barracks. Mighty Wanderers defeated them in 2022, but they claimed back-to-back titles against MAFCO FC and Silver Strikers in recent years.
