Young athletes from universities across Malawi are preparing to compete in the inaugural Mo626 Varsity Games, which will begin Saturday at Mzuzu University. Sponsored by National Bank of Malawi plc, the games are part of a larger sports initiative, which has designated K450 million for this event out of the institution’s K1.58 billion annual sponsorship, focusing on women’s football, tertiary-level sports, and grassroots football development.
Organizers expect the Mo626 Varsity Games to unite colleges from around the country in a spirited display of athletic skill and enthusiasm. Akossa Hiwa, who oversees marketing and corporate affairs for the bank, described the launch as the final piece of their sponsorship strategy, with plans to engage students and gather feedback throughout the competition. The Tertiary Sports Association of Malawi has finalized logistics, with 21 universities ready to participate and teams set for travel and training. Edda Mkombezi, a basketball official, confirmed that all teams are prepared, and the competition is set to feature both returning squads and newcomers.
