COSAFA ESWATINI : Sihlangu for early training ahead of Cosafa Cup, CHAN

Eswatini senior national football team trusts the saying that ‘an early bird catches the worm.’

In view of this, Eswatini’s Sihlangu will embark on a 10-day training starting from this Sunday to fine-tune for the forthcoming Cosafa Cup and Africa Nations Championship (CHAN)  qualifiers.

In statement, Eswatini FA says national team coach, Dominic Kunene, has called up 28 players for the camp training at the Technical Centre in Lobamba.

Most of the players called up are home-based save for Justice Figareido  and Felix Badenhorst  who play for TS Galaxy FC in South Africa’s DStv Premiership.

Sihlangu will be using the upcoming FIFA international week to prepare for the upcoming competitions which include the 2023 Total Championship of African Nations (CHAN) Qualifiers and the 2021 COSAFA Cup edition,” Eswatini FA website reports.

Part of the training will include playing a friendly on next month’s Fifa window against an opponent whose identity is yet to be disclosed.

With the most immediate competition being the COSAFA Senior Cup 2021, this camp will accord the coaches to evaluate the levels of the players and team in general ahead of the camp on the last half of June 2021 for the COSAFA Cup,” the association says
