Warriors clash with the Swazis
The Brave Warriors aim to spoil the party in Swaziland after their coach entrusted 21 players with the duty to get a good result.
Namibia's national team have their sights set on success when they confront Swaziland today.
The team departed yesterday afternoon with 21 players ready to beat Swaziland in their own backyard.
The friendly match serves as preparation for Swaziland's independence celebrations.
Goalkeeper Ratanda Mbazuvara of African Stars is in the mix of things while Young African duo Himeezembi Hengombe and Donavan Kanjaa are expected to play a role in the team's search for a victory.
Tigers FC goalkeeper Immanuel Immanuel and Eleven Arrows' Josef Ngifindwako were dropped from the squad before the team travelled to Swaziland.
Confirming the final travelling team, coach Ricardo Mannetti said he believed in the travelling team to go out there and spoil the party for Swaziland.
“I am happy with the players I have and our aim is to ensure that we return home with a victory.
“Most of these players will have to impress and I do believe that they will play good football just to remain in the good books of the team for the future,” Mannetti said.
Mannetti had called up 27 players for camp on Monday, but six of them fell out ahead of the clash.
It was unfortunate that Vernon Klaasen, Kennedy Eib, Absalom Iimbondi and Panduleni Nekundi all withdrew from camp with injuries.
