In what promises to be an exciting Southern African encounter, Namibia is set to face Zimbabwe as both teams seek their first victory in the ongoing qualification campaign. Namibia enters the game after two tough defeats to Kenya and Cameroon, while Zimbabwe has managed to salvage two points from a possible six in their previous matches.

Despite Namibia’s disappointing start, head coach Collin Benjamin remains optimistic ahead of this crucial fixture. Speaking during the pre-match interview, Benjamin exuded confidence in his team’s potential to turn things around.

“We have a very good atmosphere in the camp. The boys are ready to go. They are ready to play well. The only thing that is left is the opposition analysis. We all have learnt our lessons against Kenya and Cameroon. It was a painful one but it’s a new challenge. It’s a new game and it’s an opportunity to show what we are made of and what we can do and what we are capable of doing. We are looking forward to this game,” Benjamin stated.

The match will be a test of character for both teams as they vie for crucial points in a tightly contested group. Namibia will be eager to get their qualification campaign back on track, while Zimbabwe will aim to capitalize on their steady start and secure their first win.
