SOCCER - WITH the national ceremony Incwala held successfully yesterday, Sihlangu Semnikati travel to Pretoria, South Africa, today with blessings as they will be engaged in the TotalEnergies CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN) Qualifiers.
The game will be against Madagascar, and will be played at Lucas Moripe Stadium on Saturday. This was confirmed by Eswatini Football Association (EFA) Communications and Marketing Officer Muzi Radebe yesterday.
EFA has turned to Lucas Moripe Stadium after failure to secure the usual Mbombela Stadium.
The nation's pride reported for full-time camp at Lobamba Technical Centre on Sunday under the guidance of Croatia-born mentor Zdravko Logarusic, who is assisted by former Royal Leoapard head coach Sifiso ‘Nuro’ Ntibane.
The head coach has since resumed work after his abscence from matches against Mali and Guinea-Bissau a few weeks ago. “The team might leave tomorrow, Thursday; we are finalising a few logistics.
You will be notified accordingly,” said Radebe. Coach Logarisic said only two players were nursing injuries. “Felix Badenhorst and Bongi ‘Karas’ Magagula are yet to pass the late fitness test while Thubelihle Mavuso will not travel with the team as he is injured,” he said.
Eswatini is on the verge of qualifying for the TotalErnegies CAF CHAN to be staged in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania on February 1 to 18.
Qualified nations will contest for the coveted US$2 million. Eswatini earned its place in this round by defeating Zimbabwe with an aggregate score of 4-0. The nation’s pride beat Zimabwe 3-0 in the second leg before winning 1-0 in the second leg.
