The association is mainly engaged in the Malawi national football team joined that The flames (dt .: The flames ) is called. The team has tried to qualify for international tournaments since the 1960s, but never reached the finals of a world championship. However, they took part in the preliminary round of the African Championship in 1984 and 2010, but were eliminated from both tournaments in the preliminary round. The greatest international successes were achieved at the COSAFA Cup when they finished second in 2002 and 2003. The CECAFA Cup has been won three times, the last time in 1988 .

Later there were several changes in the management level in the hope of finally achieving international success. These measures paid off, as it was possible to climb from 137th place (January 2008) to 78th place in the world rankings. The association's president said that the team's goal is to qualify for the 2022 World Cup .
