The Malawi women's national association football team is overseen by the Football Association of Malawi.

In 2020 the nickname Scorchers was adopted for the team. Previously it was referred to as She-Flames.[2]

In 2023 Malawi won their first and only COSAFA title defeating Zambia 2–1 at the final.[3] It was announced shortly after Malawi won the COSAFA that there controversially would be no prize money available for any of the national teams.[4]
