Namibia U23 head coach John Sikerete has finalised his squad for the upcoming CAF Olympic Qualifiers, with the Junior Warriors set to begin their campaign against Angola in a two-legged first-round tie.
The first leg is scheduled for 28 September in Luanda, where Namibia will travel to face Angola before hosting the return match on 5 October in Botswana.
Sikerete has selected a 23-player squad featuring a mix of defenders, midfielders, forwards and goalkeepers, with several players drawn from the domestic football setup.
The team has been preparing for the qualifiers with a focus on improving tactical understanding, building team chemistry and ensuring the players are physically ready for the demands of international competition.
