Malawi national football team coach Kinnah Phiri said on Thursday that the 2010 FIFA World Cup draw was fair to his side because the strength of most teams in the group is virtually equal.
The draw held in Zurich, Switzerland, pitches Malawi against Guinea, Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso in a Group E qualifying campaign, which will also act the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers for Angola 2010.
\"We only need intensive preparations in terms of international friendlies for us to be strong and qualify for the World Cup,\" Phiri said.
Football Association of Malawi (FAM) President Walter Nyamilandu said the association was more than ready to release the funding for the team’s preparations for the tournament.
\"We have seen that the group is fair and we are optimistic that Malawi will sail through to both the World Cup and Africa Cup of Nations,\" Nyamilandu said.
