LOBAMBA - Seasoned Sitsebe forward Tenanile Ngcamphalala is confident ahead of
the 2024 Hollywoodbets COSAFA Women’s Championships.
Ngcamphalala was speaking during a media day held at the Eswatini Football
Association (EFA) Lobamba Technical Centre yesterday. “Despite not having
enough time to train, we will compete. Anything can happen in football. The
spirit inside camp is good and we are hoping to achieve good results,”
Ngcamphalala said. Head Coach Bongani Makhu- khula expressed his confidence in
his troops as they embark on this journey.
“We did not have enough time to train. The team only played two friendly
matches against Mozambique. However, they are coming okay. Having 10 Young
Buffaloes players will come in handy. Their match fitness after the Women’s
Champions League will help as other players did not have time to train with
league games having not started,” he said.
Train
Captain Nonhle Simelane shared the same sentiments. “It would have been great
to train at least for a month. The games are tricky, but we will strive to work
hard. The Council of Southern Africa Football Associations (COSAFA) Women’s
Championships will be held in Gqeberha, South Africa, from next Tuesday to
November 2, 2024. There are 14 nations competing this year, making it the
biggest women’s international competition in Africa.

the annual regional women’s football flagship tournament.The winners of each
group will progress to the semi-final stage. Sitsebe leaves today for the
tournament.
