By Kuvee Kangueehi WINDHOEK The Libyan national soccer team jetted into the country on Monday night for the important Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier match against the Brave Warriors on Saturday at the Independence Stadium. The oil rich came via Botswana where they played their last preparation match before the crucial came. Namibia over the weekend lost 2-1 against Zambia in their preparation game and will need to get three points to have a realistic chance of qualifying for the African Nations Cup next year. Meanwhile, the Patron of the Namibian Football Association and the Brave Warriors Supporters’ Club (BWSC) Hage Geingob, has appealed to all Namibians attending Libya’s must-lose match against the Brave Warriors to colour the stadium red in support of the Brave Warriors. Speaking at the launch of the national team’s supporters’ club yesterday, Geingob said fans “must not pay their money to come and sit like it’s a funeral”. According to the former Prime Minister, the job is not for the eleven souls who will take their skills to war against Libya. “It’s a national duty and the supporters’ club is for everybody. Everyone must attend the match in red,” which is the official colour for the Brave Warriors’ home games. Geingob kick-started the supporters’ club with N$500 for the organisation which is mainly administered on a volunteer basis by journalists, marketing officers, public relations officers, IT and travel and finance administrators, among others. The supporters’ club chairman Jimmy Julie said red T-shirts designed for the Brave Warriors will be on sale at Soccer House in Katutura and at the match venue for N$60. The Brave Warriors dearly need a victory against Libya but have not lost a CAF match on home soil ever since the new blood of Ben Bamfuchile was injected into the squad. According to Julie, cheer leaders from top Windhoek clubs like Orlando Pirates and Civics have been invited to prepare the crowd for songs that will steer the team to victory. The Brave Warriors Supporters Club (BWSC) deputy, Kayele Kambombo, said the primary focus of the BWSC is to provide strong and visible support to the national team, particularly at games at home, but also throughout the continent. “The club must organise to effectively support the national team wherever they play. Wherever the Brave Warriors play, the club intends to transform the stadiums into a home atmosphere ÃÆ’Æ‘ÀÃ…ÃÆ”šÃ‚ that is truly intimidating to our opponents,” said Kambombo. The match scheduled at 15h00 will be officiated by Nconbo Aldrin (South Africa), Jibiliza Siphiwo (South Africa), Motloung Reginald (South Africa) and Swartbooi Hendrik (Namibia) Botswana’s David Fani will be the match commissioner. Entrance fee will be N$10 per person.
