Lesotho coach Bob Mafoso has named his final squad for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double header against Gabon.

Lesotho will face Gabon away on Friday, November 13th in Franceville, before hosting the return fixture at New Peter Mokaba Stadium on Tuesday, November 17th.

Mafoso has kept the bulk of the team that played Niger and Morocco in September with squad headlined by seasoned campaigners such as Sekhoane Moerane, Thabo Makhele and Motebang Sera, who is one goal shy of equaling Jane Thabants’o’s record as Lesotho’s all-time leading goal-scorer.

The two forwards are also Lesotho’s all-time leading goal-scorer in the COSAFA Cup, a record they share with Mozambique legend Tico Tico Bucuane. Mafoso told the media briefing that his team is itching for a win after a difficult start to the campaign with losses to Niger and Morocco.

The Likuena coach felt his team had done enough to have opened the campaign with a win against Niger in Accra.

Goalkeepers: Sekhoane Moerane, Mosoeu Seahlolo, Katleho Mathetsa.

Defenders: Fusi Matlabe, Thabo Makhele, Katleho Koaeane, Thabang Malane, Motlomelo Mkwanazi, Thabo Mafatle, Tlotliso Mapola, Lehlohonolo Matsau.
