WINDHOEK, Nov. 10 (Xinhua) -- Namibia head coach Collin Benjamin on Monday named a 22-player squad for the country's upcoming back-to-back 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Cameroon.
Namibia will travel to Douala for the first leg on November 12 before hosting Cameroon in the return fixture on November 16 in Botswana.
Benjamin said the squad combines experienced players with emerging talent, with established internationals expected to provide leadership while younger players get the chance to make their mark.
Veterans Deon Hotto and Riaan Hanamub are among those expected to bring stability and international experience to the team.
One notable omission is attacking midfielder Petrus Shitembi, who sustained an injury while playing for his club.
Namibia is currently third in Group G of the AFCON qualifiers with three points from two matches, one point behind leader Cameroon. Comoros ranks second and Congo tails the group table. ■
