Levelling upWarrior's plot to snatch away win in Comoros Brave Warriors assistant coach Woody Jacobs said the team is aiming to win the away leg of their Chan qualifier against the Comoros today. It's crunch time for the Brave Warriors, as they eye an away win against the Comoros, which allow them a positive start in their African Nations Championship (Chan) qualifier.
Jacobs said the players have recovered from their long flight, and spirits are high in camp, ahead of the much-anticipated match.
Captain Dynamo Fredericks is no stranger to crunch matches and said the island nation is familiar territory.
“We have played them before in 2017 and qualified on their expense. I don't think they have changed their squad that much. We have shared some secrets on how to move forward with our teammates, so we are ready,” said Black Africa's Fredericks.
He added that the boys are motivated and that they are looking forward to the match.
In addition, there has been a minor change to the squad with, Unam goalkeeper Charles Uirab being replaced by Okahandja United's Calvin Spiegel. Uirab had passport issues before the team's departure.
The match will kick off at 14:00, local time.
The Warriors and Comoros national team will again meet in Windhoek on Sunday 4 August for the second leg of the qualifier.
The winners will take on the victors of the Madagascar versus Mozambique qualifier in the third and final round.
Forty-seven teams are engaged in the battle for 15 places to join hosts Ethiopia for the finals of the sixth edition of the tournament.
The Brave Warriors squad is as follows: Ratanda Mbazuvara, Charles Uirab, Ivan Kamberipa, Obrey Amseb, Marcel Papama, Gustav Isaak, Larry Horaeb, Junias Theophilus, Aprocious Petrus, Immanuel Heita, Dynamo Fredericks, Vitapi Ngaruka, Emilio Martin, Wendell Rudath, Llewelyn Stanley, Absalom Iimbondi, Gregory Auchumeb, Isaskar Gurirab, Elmo Kambindu and Revered Matroos.
