| Reverse description | The reverse features a stylized design commemorating the 2006 FIFA World Cup, with a bold curved ribbon motif rising from a globe silhouette and supporting a football at its apex. The globe prominently displays the African continent in relief, with Germany indicated in the upper left field and South Africa marked in the lower portion, each accompanied by decorative city-skyline vignettes. The denomination 50 KWACHA appears to the right in the field. The legend 2006 FIFA WORLD CUP GERMANY with the official trademark symbol arcs along the upper rim. |

| Additional information |
Malawi's commemorative program in the mid-2000s leaned heavily on international sporting events as a revenue mechanism — these issues were sold primarily to overseas collectors rather than circulated domestically, where the 50 Kwacha face value would have represented a meaningful sum against average wages. The 2006 tournament itself was hosted by Germany after a controversial FIFA vote in 2000 that edged out South Africa by a single ballot, a decision that generated lasting suspicion and was later central to the broader FIFA corruption investigations of 2015.
