Bobby Samaria has called up Chippa United captain Lubeni Haukongo and Cape Town Spurs’ Kennedy Amutenya for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Congo and Togo in November.
The Brave Warriors are out of contention for world football biggest showpiece to be held in Qatar next year, but Samaria takes finishing second behind Group H winner Senegal seriously.
Namibia will play Congo in Brazzaville on 11 November and then finish off against Togo in Orlando, South Africa on 15 November.
"We still have national pride and better rankings to play for. We lost twice to Senegal and we dropped in the FIFA world rankings and these two final games will surely count for something for us. That is why we still have a strong team that can compete against Congo and Togo,” Samaria said.
"Amutenya missed the previous games due to a combination of personal issues and injuries while Lubeni missed out due to injury as well. Ryan Nyambe is also in the mix and I have also included right Mighty Gunners Riddick Gariseb,” added Samaria.
Samaria will also have a look at Young African goalkeeper Mbemutjiua Mata while Botswana-based Wendell Rudath and Civics playmaker Obrey Amseb are also in the team.
"It's the two final official games for the year and we need to make sure we finish on a high and with these players we will fight to the end,” Samaria states.
Senegal wins Group H with 12 points; Namibia is second on four points, level with Togo and Congo are bottom of the group with two points.
The local players reported for camp yesterday. Here is the provisional training squad:
Goalkeepers: Calvin Spiegel, Kamaijanda Ndisiro, Loydt Kazapua, Mbemutjiua Mata and Virgil Vries
Defenders: Nyambe, Riaan Hanamub, Ivan Kamberipa, Larry Horaeb, Kennedy Amutenya, Lubeni Haukongo, Gariseb, Aprocius Petrus, Charles Hambira and Immanuel Heita
Midfielders: Denzil Haoseb, Dynamo Fredericks, Alfeus Handura, Deon Hotto, Absalom Iimbondi, Wesley Katjiteo, Rudath, Marcel Papama, Prins Tjiueza, Obrey Amseb and Willy Stephanus
Forwards: Elmo Kambindu, Peter Shalulile, Joslin Kamatuka.
