Brave Warriors coach Collin Benjamin on Tuesday announced a squad of 25 players who will take on Burundi in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifiers, set for 22 June in Tanzania.
Namibia is currently at the top of Group C of the 2023 Ivory Coast Afcon qualifiers with five points, and need only one point from their next match against Burundi to reach the Afcon finals.
On Tuesday, Benjamin announced 25 of the 30 players who were in camp to travel to Tanzania, where they will play their last fixture of the qualifiers.
In an interview with the media after the morning training session, Benjamin said the team has prepared well and this will probably be the last chance for some players to qualify for the Afcon. He said they are therefore looking forward to collecting points in Tanzania.
“We have the ball in our hands to qualify for the nations cup. All our players are fit and in good spirits ahead of this match,” he said.
The players are goalkeepers Edward Maova, Ndisiro Kamaijanda and Jonas Mateus; defenders Ryan Nyambe, Ivan Kamberipa, Steven Damaseb, Kennedy Amutenya, Denzel Haoseb, Ananias Gebhardt, Riaan Hanamub, and Approcius Petrus; midfielders Reverend Matroos, Devin Somseb, Ngero Kaanjuka, Dynamo Fredericks, Paulus Amutenya and Marcel Papama; and strikers Absalom Iimbondi, Joslyn Kamatuka, Peter Shalulile, Betheuel Museu, Elmo Kambindu, Junior Petrus, Edmar Kamatuka and Wendell Rudath.
