Brave Warriors head coach Colin Benjamin has trimmed his Namibian squad to 30 players for the back-to-back FIFA 2026 World Cup Qualifiers against Liberia and Tunisia next month.
Benjamin initially revealed a preliminary squad of 52 players just over a fortnight ago but had to cut 22 players as they gear up for the tough qualifiers next month.
The South African contingent of Lloydt Kazapua (Chippa United), Riaan Hanamub (AmaZulu), Edmar Kamatuka (Sekhukhune United), Deon Hotto (Orlando Pirates), Approcius Petrus (Cape Town City), Betheul Muzeu (Black Leopards) and captain Peter Shalulile from Mamelodi Sundowns, all form part of the squad.
Namibia sit second in Group H, tied with leaders Tunisia on six points. The former opened their qualification campaign with a gift after FIFA handed them a 3-0 victory against Equatorial Guinea due to Emilio Nsue being found ineligible, before upsetting minnows São Tomé and Príncipe 2-0 in their backyard.
They take on Liberia at Orlando Stadium in Johannesburg on Wednesday, June 5, before hosting Tunisia, who they shocked at the recent AFCON with a 1-0 scoreline, at the same venue four days later.
