The Namibia Football Association (NFA) have entered into an agreement with the Russian Football Association to play the Brave Warriors in an international friendly match against Russia on October 3rd in Yekaterinburg, Russia.
Head Coach Collin Benjamin is grateful for the opportunity to field the Brave Warriors against a strong Russia side, the fixture, highlighting the value of exposing his players to different footballing environments.
“These are the kind of competitive exposureour players need on a regular to increase the pressure, the experience and competitiveness making them ready to face other their peers at Continental level in the CAF/Africa Cup of Nations,” Benjamin stated.
“For us, it is critical that our players continue challenging themselves to the limit. Playing in different parts of the world, especially against highly rated National Teams contributes significantly to their ongoing development; and this give the technical team an opportunity to assess the endurance, stamina and level of pressure the Team can with-stand under extreme pressure,” he said.
The Brave Warriors are looking forward to the international friendly against the Russian side.
