Malawi's national football team were left waiting at Luanda airport for almost two hours after landing in Angola, with no one from the host federation there to meet them.
The Flames touched down at 4 de Fevereiro International Airport at exactly 16:30, only to find nobody from the Angolan Football Federation waiting. After an hour, two officials finally turned up.

Football Association of Malawi first vice-president Madalitso Kuyera said the matter would be investigated.
