The Baby Gladiators concluded their preparations for the TotalEnergies CAF Under-17 Africa Cup of Nations | COSAFA Qualifier that will be staged in Johannesburg from the 4-14 December 2024.
Drawn in an interesting group alongside Madagascar,South Africa and Malawi,Namibia is hoping to make a first impression in their opening match when they take on Madagascar at the UJ Soweto Stadium on 5 December 2024.
“I am quite impressed with how the girls have been doing considering we only trained for a few days. There is a lot of talent in the country but some girls had to stay behind because of issues with their travelling documents. We are currently focused on our first hurdle which is Madagascar, we believe the opening match sets the tone to the rest of the games during the tournamnet. The past sessions we were focused more on the tactical aspect of the game we need to get the girls get used to playing with each other” said Head Coach, Hafeni Ndeitunga.
The team departs via road to South Africa on Sunday, 1 December 2024.
