The Namibia national team the Brave Warriors arrived in Russia ahead of their international friendly against the Russia national team on 3 October in Yekaterinburg.
The team received a warm and memorable Russian welcome, with each member of the delegation presented with a piece of green malachite, a stone strongly associated with the Ural region, as well as a traditional welcoming band.
Comoros secured their first victory in the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations PAMOJA 2027 qualifiers with a 1-0 win over Namibia in their Group G Matchday Two encounter on Tuesday.
Benjaloud Youssouf scored the decisive goal in the 54th minute after a goalless first half, giving Comoros three valuable points following their 3-1 defeat by Cameroon in their opening qualifier.
Namibia, who began their campaign with a 1-0 victory over Congo, were unable to find an equaliser despite making several second-half changes as they attempted to rescue a point. The result leaves Comoros, Namibia and Cameroon on three points each, although the Indomitable Lions have played one game fewer.
