The Brave Warriors head coach Collin Benjamin this week unveiled his provisional squad for two upcoming TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying fixtures.
Namibia will open their September campaign on home soil against Congo-Brazzaville on Sept. 24, before turning their attention to a demanding fixture against Comoros four days later on Sept. 28.
With six crucial points up for grabs, Benjamin’s squad selection signals the start of an intensive preparation period aimed at keeping Namibia’s AFCON qualification dreams firmly on track.
Benjamin’s selected group, which begins preparations for the qualifiers, features a blend of established international and local talent, including three goalkeepers, nine defenders, 12 midfielders, and five strikers.
Senior players Peter Shalulile and Deon Hotto are among those selected, alongside Riaan Hanamub, Aprocius Petrus, Prins Tjiueza and Bethuel Muzeu.
Qualification for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations is set to begin on Sept. 21. Organized by the Confederation of African Football, the tournament’s qualifying phase features 48 nations divided into 12 groups of four, with teams competing across three dedicated FIFA international windows.
