Concerned with continued high levels of hooliganism and violence at Karonga Stadium and for fear of further crowd violence disorder, the Football Association of Malawi (FAM) has changed the venue for the FHD Bank Cup Round of 32 match between Karonga United and Be Forward Wanderers from Karonga Stadium to Mzuzu stadium. FAM has noted that Karonga stadium is not in good condition to host an elite match as per the FAM Club Licensing regulations and FAM COVID-19 Football Re-Start Guidelines, after it was vandalised on Sunday 20th June 2021 in a thrilling game that was marred by violence perpetuated by the home team.
