Ekhaya FC now know their opponents in the Round of 32 of the Castel Challenge Cup, having been paired against Ntaja United, a side currently competing in the NBS National Division League.
This follows a draw earlier conducted at the Football Association of Malawi offices in Blantyre
Ntaja United, who sit 8th on the lower-division log table with three matches remaining, have put together a steady campaign and will view this clash as a valuable opportunity to test themselves against top-flight opposition.
For Ekhaya FC, the fixture adds another exciting chapter to an impressive debut season in the TNM Super League of Malawi. The Cowboys currently sit 6th with four league matches left to play, and the Castel Challenge Cup offers a fresh platform to extend their momentum and showcase their ambition.
Should Ekhaya progress from this round, they will meet the winner between Chintheche United and Shire Whimby in the Round of 16, a tie that promises yet another engaging contest as the competition deepens.
The official date and venue for the Ntaja United encounter will be confirmed by the Football Association of Malawi in due course.
For now, the Cowboys’ full attention is on league matters, with their next assignment coming tomorrow at home against Silver Strikers, a crucial fixture as the season edges toward its climax.
