As preparations for the Malawi beach soccer national team heats up, the Beach Soccer Malawi (BSM) has released names of 20 players to under go camping before travelling to Seychelles.
Malawi will for the first time take part in the Cosafa tournament scheduled to take place from 9 to 11 April.
BSM general secretary Davis Saddo said the names have been identified from all the beach soccer playing centres in the country and he believes if the players are blended well they can pull a surprise at this inaugural tournament.

The selected 20 players will undergo intensive physical training and ball work techniques under the stewardship of Fifa certified coach Stereo Gondwe.
