Inactive Namibia paired against Zimbabwe in CHAN qualifiers

Xinhua, February 6, 2017 Adjust font size:

Namibia's Brave Warriors will host Zimbabwe local based players in the second round of qualifiers on the weekend of July 15 to 16 and the second leg in Zimbabwe will be played between July 21 to 23.

Confederation of African Football (CAF) announced the draw for the 2018 African Nations Championship (CHAN) and the winner will face either Lesotho or Comoros in the road to Kenya 2018.

Namibia's football coach, Riccardo Mannetti on Sunday said, "We have to up our preparations than the previous times because our players are not active.

"Intense training will make the situation better. We have to do things out of the box with our training plan and I can only hope for uncompromising support from all stakeholders in this regard," Mannetti said.

Currently most of Namibia's locally based football players have been out of action due to the fact that the National Premier League has been on hold due to lack of funds, since last year.

The fifth edition of the CHAN tournament will be held in Kenya between Jan. 11 and Feb. 2, 2018. Endit
