MBABANE – Hellenic FC director Mduduzi Mabila has revealed that their
pre-season camp will be held in Mozambique and South Africa.
Mabila said they have bigger plans for the season and intend to be a very
competitive side.
He said they have lined up an interesting programme for their pre season camp
and will play big teams both in and out of the country.
"We shall be taking the boys to Mozambique and South Africa for the pre season
camp and we will make sure that they are up to standard when the season resumes.
We have earmarked a number of teams that we will play practice matches with both
in and out of the country," he said.
In South Africa Mabila said they will be playing a team in Nelspruit where they
will have a week long camp.
He said they are yet to finalise certain logistics about the camp.
"I cannot disclose the logistics of the games but yes I can confirm that for two
weeks before the league resumes we will be out of the country. But most of the
logistics will be provided by our technical bench," he added.
Mabila said they will retain their coach Zweli ‘Botsotso’ Khoza who was
named the Coach of the tournament last season.
He further mentioned that they have earmarked a few players in the premier
league that they might recruit to beef up their squad.
He said they want to retain the team’s identity and keep it in Mangwaneni.
"We want to make sure that the team does not lose its identity and the people of
Mangwaneni must identify with it," he said.
Mabila further mentioned that they have promoted five players from their feeder
side Yellow Tigers. He said these players have been promoted to provide
continuity in the Hellenic family.
