Mannetti calls up local players for Cosafa camp

The players will assemble for training at the Sam Nujoma Stadium in Windhoek before the final squad is trimmed to make way for Namibia’s foreign legion plying their trade in South Africa and Ghana. The final group will assemble in Pretoria for another week before the competition gets underway in earnest. Namibia have been pitted in a group alongside Zimbabwe, Seychelles and Mauritius and start their assault in the regional tourney with a date against Seychelles on May 17. The full fixtures are as follows: 17 May - Namibia vs Seychelles 15h00 Moruleng 19 May - Namibia vs Mauritius 19h30 Moruleng 21 May - Namibia vs Zimbabwe 17h00 Moruleng. In the CHAN, Namibia are paired against Zambia with the first leg matches scheduled for the weekend of June 19-21 at home with the decisive return leg slated for July 3-5 in Lusaka. The winner of the Namibia/Zambia clash takes on the winner between the Mozambique and Seychelles preliminary round encounter for a final place in Rwanda 2016.
