Namibia can beat Comoros and qualify for the 2018 Africa Nations Championship (CHAN).

That’s what their coach Riccardo Mannetti believes will make Brave Warriors secure their first ever CHAN qualification and would also earn the Namibian team N$2.2 million.

A 1-0 score line would be enough for Brave Warriors who go into the tie 2-1 behind Comoros.

“Comoros surprised us in the first half of our away game because we did not expect them to play possession football.

“Our aim now will be to start the game very well in order to get the goals.

“If things become difficult, we will be doing anything, even by playing ugly football, just so that we can win the match.

“By ugly football I mean playing long balls to the strikers in order for us to get the goals,” Mannetti said in an interview with Namibian Sun.

Manneti has added Tigers right back Romario Ndjavera, Charles Hambira and Edmund Kambanda to join the squad that played last Sunday.

The defender will be making his Warriors debut, while Kambanda will play his second game for the senior national team.

“These players have been training with us for the past few months now and I believe it was about time they got the chance to show what they are made of.

“I am not going to panic about them given that they know what is expected of them.”

The Nambia Football Association has announced that no tickets will be sold at the gate and fans are therefore advised to buy their tickets in advance.
