MTL Wanderers are a Malawian football (soccer) club based in Blantyre. They are one of Malawi's greatest and successful football clubs. They boast to have the second largest support base after their arch rivals and sworn enemies on the field Big Bullets. Even though there are no real stats on the number of fans the two teams have, it is estimated that Big Bullets have a slightly bigger fan base than Wanderers.

Wanderers can boast to have contributed a lot to the Malawi's football history as they have supplied some of the best football players to play in the National Team over the years. Some of these players include Yasin Osman, Jack Chamangwana, The Malunga Brothers, Horman and Kenedy and so many more.

One of the most prolific players who played fo Wanderers but surprisingly did not go on to play their game elsewhere outside the country or even the continent are the Mpinganjira Brothers Bob and Albert.

Due to sponsorship questions, the team was previously known has Limbe Leaf Wanderers and Telecom Wanderers
