Senior national men’s football team coach, Collin Benjamin, says his squad is injury free and ready to collect the needed points from their encounter with Burundi.

The Brave Warriors, as the team is affectionately known, is scheduled to play Burundi in Tanzania Tuesday afternoon in their final match of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifiers.

Namibia currently sits atop Group C in the Afcon qualifiers with five points from three games and needs only one point from its next match to reach the Afcon finals that will be held in Ivory Coast in January 2024.

In an interview with Nampa on Monday, Benjamin said every player in his squad is hungry to win and they cannot wait to step onto the field of play.

“We just finished our last training session and seeing as this match will present an opportunity for some of the players to be counted as part of an elite group that qualified for Afcon twice, I am positive they will give it their all to get the required results,” he said.

Benjamin added that they have done everything possible in training and the only thing left is for the team to collect the necessary points.

“Our goal is to be on the same table with the best teams in Africa and we are looking forward to being there,” he said, stating that the players and management are confident and ready to battle Burundi.

Burundi is currently bottom of Group C with one point from two matches played, while Cameroon is second in the group with four points from three matches.
