History

In 2003, the then Malawi's president Bakili Muluzi adopted the team and renamed it Bakili Bullets. It was during this period that the team enjoyed one of its glamorous periods, reaching the lucrative group stages of CAF Champions League 2004.[1][2]

It was also during the same period that the club had a training camp in the United Kingdom in readiness for the CAF Champions League.[3]
