The Association was founded as an informal group in 2021 and has since evolved into a recognized institution. Chairperson Jim Kalua celebrated the adoption of their first constitution during the meeting. This legal framework enables the organization to operate with greater accountability and transparency. Two primary programs focus on medical assistance and skills development for former players. The Football Association of Malawi supports these efforts through a formal partnership agreement.
